Rent & eviction protection

Is 307 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 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.

15+ years since occupancy
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 property at 307 19th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Owned by Gene Louie/ya Rong Yu Trust, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone several notable modifications and faced some regulatory challenges over its history. The most significant recent building improvement was a $13,500 reroofing project completed in 2017, with earlier work from 1987 involving plumbing, electrical, wood framing, sheetrock, and insulation updates. Of particular concern is a complaint filed in January 2015 regarding unauthorized deck construction at the rear of the building, which was recorded as an illegal construction matter exceeding permit scope, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

The building's recent history shows typical urban residential issues, with multiple 311 calls mostly relating to street and sidewalk matters. These include resolved cases of abandoned furniture (July 2024), a Christmas tree removal (January 2022), and two incidents of driveway blocking that resulted in citations (January 2023 and April 2018). There have also been minor municipal service requests, including a defaced parking sign repair (March 2021) and a general public works service request (March 2020). The property has maintained some level of regulatory engagement, with the most recent interaction being a Rent Board customer callback in December 2024, though specific details of this interaction are not provided in the available data.

Risk rating

How 307 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
67thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 742 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
