Rent & eviction protection

Is 3208-3212 Mission 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 1907

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 1907
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 3208-3212 Mission Street in Bernal Heights is a three-story mixed-use building constructed in 1907, containing three residential units plus ground-floor commercial space. The building experienced a significant fire incident in April 2011 that resulted in extensive damage across all levels, particularly affecting the ground floor commercial space (3208), which sustained severe fire and water damage, and unit 3212, which suffered structural damage including compromised roof and ceiling framing, wall framing, and rear porch. The 2011 fire incident prompted substantial rehabilitation work, with permits showing over $1 million in repairs and upgrades, including comprehensive fire and water damage restoration, electrical re-wiring, plumbing system updates, and the installation of new furnaces and ductwork for residential units 3210 and 3212.

Following the restoration work, additional improvements were made in 2012, including the conversion of the ground floor space into a dental office with accessible entry features, new bathrooms, and related electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work costing $180,000. The building has undergone regular maintenance and address various issues over the years, with recent 311 calls primarily related to exterior maintenance concerns such as general cleaning, graffiti incidents on the commercial portion, and street conditions. The most recent building-related activities include routine maintenance and response to municipal service requests, with no active building violations or major structural concerns on record since the 2011 fire incident was officially abated in September 2013. The property management has generally responded to maintenance issues as they arise, with most recent 311 calls being categorized as general street maintenance rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 3208-3212 Mission 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
16thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 1072 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.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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