Inner Mission, SF 94110 6526028 3 units · 2 fl · 1987

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

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 1987
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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 3285 25th Street is a 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1987 in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, currently owned by Albert G Swanson Revocable Trust. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, particularly in recent years. Of particular concern are multiple active violations and complaints from 2015-2024 related to safety and maintenance, including problems with fire safety systems (fire extinguishers, handrails, and stairs), water damage, plumbing issues, and electrical systems. There were also chronic plumbing issues noted in 2011 regarding sewer stoppages and missing house trap, which required multiple Notices of Violation.

The building has undergone some major work, including a reroofing project costing $17,800 in 2017 and a plumbing violation correction in 2016. Historical records from the 1980s show attempts to bring the building up to code and clean the parking lot, though some of these permits were cancelled. Recent street-level issues around the building, as documented in 311 calls from 2023-2025, primarily involve garbage and debris on the street, with multiple reports of cleaning needs and some encampment-related issues, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. The property has undergone some procedural changes, with records indicating a variance request in 1999 for a 4-unit building, though it officially lists as 3 units. While some past violations have been resolved (notably from a 2011 sewer issue), multiple active complaints remain open as of 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 3285 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
62ndpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 904 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
