Rent & eviction protection

Is 3549 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
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH2
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 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-story multi-family residential building at 3549 Mission Street in Bernal Heights, owned by BMW Properties LLC, has undergone extensive renovations since two significant violations emerged in 2018 regarding maintenance issues. These included problems with heating, plumbing, and various interior surfaces that prompted multiple notices of violation. All these violations were officially abated by June 11, 2018. Since then, the property has seen substantial improvements, including the installation of new fire safety systems throughout 2021-2022, comprising both fire sprinklers and alarm systems. The building's infrastructure has been significantly upgraded, including a voluntary seismic retrofit in 2020, replacement of all windows and doors in 2021, installation of a multi-zone radiant heat system, and comprehensive plumbing work throughout all units. Additional recent improvements include the installation of a new metal gate at the front and the replacement of the building's front stairs.

The property's recent history shows consistent investment in major systems and safety upgrades, suggesting a commitment to maintaining and improving the building's infrastructure. Historical issues from 2018 regarding rodent infestation, mold, and heating problems, which were reported through various complaints, have not reoccurred in subsequent years. The building is currently in compliance with safety regulations, as evidenced by the completion of numerous building permits, including final inspections for major systems. The property has also undergone modifications to add additional units, with permits showing work related to ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) requirements. The most recent building inspections and permits indicate active maintenance and modernization of the property, with no active violations on record as of the latest data.

Risk rating

How 3549 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
