Rent & eviction protection

Is 1918-1922 Powell 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 1906

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.

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 1918-1922 Powell St is a four-story, three-unit residential building located in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, built in 1906 and currently owned by the Patrick E Mccune 2020 Trust. The building's recent history from 2026 shows significant activity, most notably the filing of a permit for a vertical addition to an existing single-story garage structure with plans for two new residential units, valued at $250,000. This represents a potential expansion of the property's residential capacity.

The area has experienced recurring issues with cleanliness and sanitation in recent months, particularly between May and July 2026, with five documented cases of human waste or urine contamination and two instances of trash dumping, including one in a nearby park service area that staff were unable to locate. While there has only been one recorded fire incident in the past seven years, the frequency of recent sanitation-related service requests suggests a concerning pattern that may impact resident quality of life. The building's historical record includes 51 311 Service Requests over the past seven years, though these are not detailed in the recent data, and only one building permit has been recorded during this period, compared to the current vertical addition permit filed in 2026.

Risk rating

How 1918-1922 Powell 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
84thpercentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 58 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 age

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

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
