Rent & eviction protection

Is 3939-3941 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.

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 1951
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 property at 3939-3941 Mission Street in Bernal Heights is a two-story multi-family residential building containing two units, constructed in 1951 and currently managed by the 3939 Mission Holding Trust. The building has undergone several notable improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a reroofing project completed in September 2019 at a cost of $14,500, and associated street space permits. A significant historical event occurred in 1994 when the building suffered fire damage requiring repairs to multiple areas including the garage (approximately 400 square feet), the front of the second floor, and the stairs at the lightwell, though all repairs were subsequently completed.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure improvements, including the completion of an underground equipment installation project in 2003. Recent exterior maintenance has been prompted by various 311 calls related to sidewalk conditions in 2016-2018, with reports of lifted and collapsed sections, though inspections found conditions not requiring further action. The building's surroundings have experienced periodic issues with abandoned vehicles, with multiple reports between 2015-2019, all of which were resolved when the vehicles were found to be gone upon inspection. The most recent service-related call was in February 2022 regarding a rent board inquiry, which resulted in an update to the rental unit count, and the only other recent service call was a Christmas tree removal in January 2024. While the property has experienced typical urban maintenance issues over the years, there are no current outstanding safety or maintenance concerns on record.

Risk rating

How 3939-3941 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

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

Grade C — Moderate risk

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

Grade D–F — High risk

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