Rent & eviction protection

Is 341 Silver Ave 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 1925

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.

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

341 Silver Avenue is a 2-unit, single-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Joshua R. and Yuliy Zimmermann. The property has undergone several maintenance and repair projects over the years, including a 1995 reroofing, a 1993 kitchen renovation, and most recently, a repair to the rear stairs in 2020 which became the subject of a building violation due to work being initiated without proper permits. This stair repair project, which required replacement of rotted posts and guardrails, was completed by June 2020 after the violation was issued and subsequently abated.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety system issues, with multiple complaints and violations related to alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and elevator services between 2017 and 2025. Most notably, in 2024 there were citations for multiple fire code violations, problems with sprinkler/standpipe systems, and elevator outages, with at least one alarm system issue also reported in 2022. The property has generated numerous parking enforcement complaints in late 2024, particularly related to driveway blocking, though many of these calls were either unable to be validated or listed as invalid due to missing contact information. While there have been several fire department responses to the building, including incidents involving a cooking fire and various alarm activations, records indicate no civilian injuries have occurred. The building's maintenance history shows regular addressing of violations and repairs, though the pattern of alarm system issues and parking complaints suggests ongoing challenges in those areas.

Risk rating

How 341 Silver Ave'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
36thpercentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 216 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
