Rent & eviction protection

Is 3937-3941 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 1914
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 three-unit residential building at 3937-3941 25th Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Lindquist Gary W Family Trust, is a well-maintained three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1914. The property has undergone numerous significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent being a bathroom remodel completed in March 2024 valued at $22,000, which included converting a tub to a shower and installing new fixtures and vanity. Between 2011 and 2022, the building saw substantial improvements including multiple window replacements (most recently in 2022 with Marvin wood aluminum clad windows), kitchen and bathroom remodels, insulation upgrades, and electrical system improvements including the installation of a new sub-panel and various fixtures. The property's infrastructure has been maintained with the installation of a forced air furnace in 2011, indicating attention to HVAC systems.

The building has undergone regular housing inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2001 and 2007, both of which were routine and not associated with any noted violations. While there have been multiple 311 calls related to the property's vicinity since 2019, most were regarding street-related issues such as abandoned vehicles and parking violations in the neighborhood, rather than building-specific concerns. A notable planning record indicates the approval of variances for constructing three rear yard decks, suggesting ongoing efforts to enhance resident amenities. The extensive record of permits and renovations, along with routine inspections, suggests proactive property management and ongoing maintenance of building systems and living spaces.

Risk rating

How 3937-3941 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
48thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 977 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
