Rent & eviction protection

Is 3461-3463 Mission St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1907

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1907
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 3461-3463 Mission Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Alfaro Family Trust, was constructed in 1907 and has a notable history of both maintenance and compliance issues. Most recently, in late 2021, plumbing work was completed to replace a house trap, and there have been several sewer-related incidents including flooding on the street in February 2022 and other sewer vent issues in 2014, 2015, and 2016. The building faced significant compliance issues in 2018-2019, when violations related to a vacant commercial storefront triggered multiple notices under the San Francisco Building Code, including violations for maintenance, insurance, and public nuisance - these violations, though not currently active, indicate past challenges with property upkeep and code compliance. Prior to these events, the building underwent a period of internal reconfiguration in the late 1990s, during which two rear units were converted to storage space following compliance actions that included penalties, though these permits have since expired.

External maintenance concerns have persisted, with multiple 311 calls regarding infrastructure issues including a missing side sewer vent cover (2019), overgrown tree concerns (2018), and hazardous materials (2020). The property has demonstrated regular attention to basic maintenance, as evidenced by sidewalk repair work in 2003, though the age of this permit suggests it may no longer be relevant. The building's recent history shows fewer active violations compared to the period from 2018-2019, with no significant safety-related incidents or violations recorded in the past several years. While the property has experienced recurring sewer system issues, most recent cases have been addressed and resolved through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 3461-3463 Mission St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
25thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 957 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
