Rent & eviction protection

Is 305-393 Arbor 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 1968
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.

Built 1968
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 Glen Park multi-family residential building at 305-393 Arbor Street, owned by Glenridge Apartments Reside, was constructed in 1968 and contains 16 units across two stories. The property has undergone significant safety improvements, including a mandatory seismic strengthening project completed in 2018 under San Francisco's Soft Story Ordinance (Tier 3), which received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC). Recent maintenance work includes a substantial electrical system upgrade in September 2023, involving multiple subpanel replacements. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the years, with the most concerning being a sewage backup incident reported in September 2024 that affected multiple units. Other maintenance history shows regular updates to essential systems, including multiple water heater installations between 2012-2019, reroofing work in 2018 involving all residential units, and bridge repairs in 2022. Historical violations from 2000 regarding gas utility shutoff procedures were documented and have since been resolved.

The building's maintenance record shows ongoing attention to infrastructure, though some recurring issues are notable. There was a heating system failure reported in April 2020, and a roof leak complaint in 2009. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate various maintenance needs, including structural maintenance and sewer-related issues, though these have generally been marked as resolved. A carbon monoxide detector activation was recorded, but no CO was detected, and there have been no reported civilian injuries in any emergency responses to the building. The property's soft story retrofit compliance and recent electrical upgrades indicate proactive management of building safety and infrastructure, though the frequency of plumbing-related issues, including recent sewage problems, suggests this remains an area requiring regular attention.

Risk rating

How 305-393 Arbor 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
3rdpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 353 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
