Rent & eviction protection

Is 3779-3781 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

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 property at 3779-3781 25th Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1910 and classified as a Flats & Duplex structure. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related events over the past decades. Most recently, there are active complaints regarding improper painting work as of December 2024, with issues related to paint chips and debris affecting neighboring properties. The building is currently undergoing reroofing work as indicated by the permits issued in November 2024, following a history of moisture-related issues, particularly in 2011 when basement waterproofing and concrete slab replacement work was completed. Other notable work includes electrical upgrades in 2014 to replace fire protection system panels, and a 2004 underground service conversion.

The property has experienced multiple maintenance challenges, including basement moisture problems, deck rot repairs in 2011, and a sewage backup incident in 2019 that required infrastructure attention. There was a building compliance investigation in 1991 that led to disapproved permits in 1992, and concerns about sidewalk conditions were addressed in 2020. The building has been the subject of several noise complaints in 2021-2025, particularly involving amplified sound and excessive noise. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 indicate issues with abandoned furniture on the property. A significant planning review indicates a variance was sought for off-street parking and open space access, related to a third dwelling unit at the existing structure.

Risk rating

How 3779-3781 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
57thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 808 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
