Rent & eviction protection

Is 130 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.

Built 1922

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 Ping Kam Toy Trust owns this 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 130 19th Ave, built in 1922 in the Lake --The Presidio neighborhood. The property has undergone significant compliance work over the past decade, most notably addressing an illegal ground floor unit issue that was first documented in a January 2010 violation complaint. This violation led to multiple permits and enforcement actions, including the removal of unauthorized kitchen and bathroom facilities and conversion of spaces to storage rooms in 2014, with associated plumbing and electrical work completed to comply with San Francisco Building Code requirements. A reroofing project was completed in 1988, and more recent improvements included the installation of vinyl siding on the rear wall in 2007.

The building's history also reveals earlier safety concerns, including a 1994 housing inspection related to a potentially unsafe wall heater between bedrooms, which was resolved by 1995. A series of 311 calls between 2014 and 2020 primarily concerned the public right-of-way around the property, with reports of hazardous materials (including liquids and glass), and two instances of abandoned vehicles nearby, though these were not directly related to building conditions. The most recent notable building-related event was a 2014 complaint about an expired permit that led to abatement proceedings, which was ultimately resolved by July 2015.

Risk rating

How 130 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

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
61stpercentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 257 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
