Rent & eviction protection

Is 19 Wentworth Pl 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.

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

19 Wentworth Place is a three-story multi-family residential building located in the Financial District North, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by 19 Wentworth Place LLC. The building has a history of various maintenance and compliance issues, with the most recent notable concerns occurring in the past two years. In early 2025, there were recurring issues with sewer back-ups from side vent systems and multiple incidents of debris and waste management problems outside the building. A potential illegal short-term rental situation was documented in 2017, with a violation notice issued regarding listings that were reportedly not properly managed.

The property has experienced several fire safety-related incidents and complaints between 2015 and 2024, primarily involving sprinkler/standpipe system concerns, though most were found to have "No Merit" or were promptly corrected. There were also some fire alarm system activations recorded, but notably none resulted in civilian injuries. The building's maintenance history includes various permitted improvements, such as electrical work in 2002 and earlier structural reinforcements, including parapet work in 1984 and interior refinishing in 1988. Recent property management responses have been documented, with most issues being classified as "Closed Case Resolved," indicating appropriate follow-up actions were taken, though the frequency of debris and waste-related reports in late 2024 and early 2025 raises concern about ongoing external maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 19 Wentworth Pl'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
