Rent & eviction protection

Is 160-164 19Th Ave 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1916
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 160-164 19th Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1916 in the Lake-The Presidio neighborhood. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work occurring in 2019 involving termite control and substantial structural reinforcement, including the installation of additional foundation bolts and connectors, at a cost of $16,000. Prior improvements include a complete bathroom remodel in 2017 ($15,000), fireplace safety upgrade from wood-burning to gas in 2017 ($7,500), and major renovations to unit 160 in 2012 that included kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical upgrades, and insulation improvements ($28,000). The building's infrastructure has been systematically addressed, with a new 200-amp electrical service installation in 2012, complete reroofing in 2015, and various plumbing upgrades including water heater replacement and bathroom renovations.

The building had several violations documented in September 2002 related to safety and maintenance issues, including problems with handrails, fire safety equipment, and lead paint hazards. However, all these violations were promptly addressed and abated by November 2002. The property has undergone regular inspections and improvements since then, with no active violations or serious complaints on record in recent years. Recent maintenance activities, as evidenced by 311 calls, primarily relate to external issues such as street cleaning, parking enforcement, and park maintenance, rather than building-specific problems. The building's maintenance history shows consistent investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with particular attention to safety systems, structural integrity, and resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 160-164 19Th Ave'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.
