Rent & eviction protection

Is 303-305 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 before 1979
Built 1924

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 1924
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 Wong Family Trust owns this two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 303-305 19th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1924, this two-story flats/duplex property has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most substantial work occurring between 2004-2005, including a $40,000 comprehensive remodeling of bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom, followed by additional modifications including skylight installation and beam addition. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, with a complete reroofing in 2006 ($10,000) and a street space permit issued in 2015 ($1.00). Earlier improvements included window replacements and central heater upgrades in 2001 ($22,000).

More recently, the property has experienced some operational issues, particularly in 2024, with multiple complaints regarding driveway blocking, with at least eight incidents reported between January and September 2024, resulting in several citations issued to offending vehicles. There were also two sanitation-related incidents in mid-2024 involving garbage, debris, and furniture removal. A noise complaint regarding a major event venue was logged in September 2024, though it appears to have been addressed through permitting verification. The building's only documented fire safety concern was a weed and grass issue reported in July 2023, which was promptly corrected within a week. The extensive renovation history suggests regular maintenance of building systems, though the recent parking enforcement issues may indicate ongoing challenges with street access management.

Risk rating

How 303-305 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
92ndpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 180 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
