Rent & eviction protection

Is 3666-3668 26Th 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.

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 3666-3668 26th Street is a two-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1908 and currently owned by the John Peter Garis 2014 Trust. The building has undergone significant safety improvements over recent years, most notably completing mandatory soft-story seismic retrofits in 2015-2016 at a cost of $50,000 for both residential and commercial portions, and upgrading its fire alarm system in 2021-2022 to meet current safety standards, including the installation of low-frequency sounders and subsequent corrections to the fire alarm panel components.

The building currently has one active complaint filed in December 2024 regarding an obstructed path of travel caused by a mail box blocking access, which has been highlighted as a concern for medical gurney access. Historical maintenance records show attention to various infrastructure issues, including plumbing upgrades such as gas service installation for unit 3 (2020), fire safety improvements, and regular apartment house inspections. The property has maintained compliance with building codes regarding soft-story retrofitting requirements (Tier 3 - Work Complete, CFC Issued), though there have been periodic issues noted in routine inspections, such as the need for fire extinguisher recharges and stair repairs (2009). Recent 311 calls from December 2024 show multiple reports of street cleaning and debris issues in the vicinity, which were generally resolved by city services.

Risk rating

How 3666-3668 26Th 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
6thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1766 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

Building size
