Rent & eviction protection

Is 346 Alemany Blvd 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 1964
2 or more units

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.

Built 1964
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 two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 346 Alemany Blvd in Bernal Heights, owned by Abelardo & Emiliana Cabrera, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements since its construction in 1964. Most recently, in December 2023, low-frequency sounders were added to the fire alarm system, and in February 2024, a broken drain section was replaced. The building successfully completed the San Francisco wood frame seismic retrofit program (soft story) requirements in 2015, which included a $56,000 seismic upgrade. Historical records show multiple safety-related violations from 2001 through 2011, primarily concerning fire safety and security issues, though all were resolved and abated by February 2002. Recent maintenance concerns include a complaint from October 2024 about improperly performed wood panel repairs on the building's exterior, and ongoing issues with garbage and debris as of July 2024.

The building has experienced two recent fire alarm incidents with no fire or injuries reported, one in 2023 related to carbon monoxide detector activation and another detector activation in 2024. Water infrastructure work has been carried out, including the recent drain replacement in 2024. The property has been subject to multiple routine inspections over the years, with significant historical violations addressed through various repairs and system upgrades. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement issues, with several complaints about illegal parking and abandoned vehicles in the vicinity during late 2023. Additionally, there was one sewage backup incident reported and resolved in December 2023.

Risk rating

How 346 Alemany Blvd'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
38thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 791 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)
