Rent & eviction protection

Is 3342-3344 25Th 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 1910
2 or more units

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1910
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 3342-3344 25th Street property, owned by the Cheng Family Trust, is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910 in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a voluntary seismic retrofit completed in 2023 ($80,000) and the repair and replacement of concrete footings ($6,000) that demonstrate investment in structural integrity and safety. The electrical system is currently being upgraded, with a major panel replacement project (200-amp) issued in October 2024, along with recent electrical improvements including additional plugs, LED lights, and switches in July 2023.

The property has a history of addressing maintenance and safety issues, including back stair repairs in 2004 that were completed in response to housing inspections. In February 2004, multiple violations were documented related to fire safety, building maintenance, and gas meter requirements, all of which were resolved by July 2004. Recent improvements include the replacement of storefront windows and garage doors in March 2023 ($8,000) and gas houseline extensions completed in 2011. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations near the property in late 2024, these are external to the building itself. The building's fire incident history shows only minor incidents, such as false alarms and detector malfunctions, with no civilian injuries reported. A recent complaint about a vacant storefront was filed in October 2024, but this is noted as "Not Active."

Risk rating

How 3342-3344 25Th 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
67thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 785 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

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
