Rent & eviction protection

Is 1819 Mcallister 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 1900
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1900
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 two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1819 McAllister Street, owned by Nwihim Adolphus C N & Rosem, has a long history of maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 1900. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns about the building's occupancy status, with an active complaint from August 2017 alleging illegal conversion from its permitted two-unit (R-3) classification to an unauthorized three-unit (R-2) configuration, particularly citing unauthorized changes to the ground floor playroom area. This complaint outlines multiple life safety concerns, including unapproved wiring, plumbing installations, lack of proper ventilation, missing smoke detectors, inadequate egress, and possible fire safety code violations.

The building has undergone several significant repairs over its history, including a gas houseline extension completed in August 2023, rear wooden stairway repairs in 2009 (following a complaint), and a reroofing project in 2001. There have been multiple plumbing issues documented, with the most recent work in 2023 and earlier sewer line repairs in 2009. A series of complaints emerged in 2009 regarding various maintenance problems, including heating system issues, plumbing problems, and unauthorized unit modifications, while more recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as noise complaints and illegal parking. The property has shown recurring concerns with compliance and maintenance requirements, with several violations remaining active as of the most recent inspection records, particularly relating to building permit requirements and unauthorized unit modifications.

Risk rating

How 1819 Mcallister 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
47thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 422 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
