Rent & eviction protection

Is 3982-3984 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.

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 1904
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 two-unit residential building at 3982-3984 25th Street in Noe Valley, owned by the James S Mayer Revocable Living Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few decades, with the most recent major work including a complete electrical service upgrade in 2018 and reroofing in 2013, both of which were properly completed. Earlier improvements include the installation of 43 vinyl windows in 2002, and the addition of a prefabricated fireplace in 1989. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, with records from 1988 indicating repairs to posts, flooring, porch, and stairs, though this permit appears to have expired.

Recent issues affecting the property include a sidewalk defect reported in January 2023 that is currently open and accepted, and a 2012 complaint regarding improper paint preparation that was promptly addressed the same day. A tree-related incident was reported in January 2023, which was investigated and resolved by the Bureau of Urban Forestry, confirming the replacement of a missing tree with a Grecian Laurel. The building has undergone routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2007, and had one unspecified fire-related complaint in late 2017 that was resolved within approximately two weeks.

Risk rating

How 3982-3984 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
64thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 676 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
