Rent & eviction protection

Is 3561 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 1916

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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.

Built 1916
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 three-unit residential building at 3561 Mission Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Silas Geneson Sep Prop Lvg, has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure issues since its construction in 1916. Most recently, in October 2022, there was a documented issue with the house trap/sewer lateral that was promptly addressed and completed. The building has undergone significant repairs to various structural elements over the years, including multiple interventions to the front stairs (1986, 1987) and bathroom-related dry rot issues (1995). A notable cluster of violations occurred in February 2002, involving multiple interior surface problems (walls, ceilings, floors, kitchen cabinets), plumbing issues including sink repairs, and fire safety violations regarding extinguishers - all of which were abated by March 2002.

The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing both immediate and recurring issues, with most repairs being completed satisfactorily. Infrastructure improvements include an underground utility conversion completed in 2003. While there have been numerous recent 311 calls regarding street cleaning and debris (especially in 2024), these are primarily related to public areas outside the building rather than internal property conditions. The building's documented history suggests generally responsive maintenance, with most violations and complaints being resolved in a timely manner, though several structural projects from the 1980s (such as front steps and stairs work) were marked as expired permits rather than completed.

Risk rating

How 3561 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
10thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 1148 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
