Rent & eviction protection

Is 325-327 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 1909
2 or more units

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 1909
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 325-327 19th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1909 and currently owned by the Wong/Lui Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past two decades, including a major renovation in 2006 that involved drywall replacement, electrical rewiring, and bathroom renovations costing $25,000. More recent work includes asbestos duct removal and replacement in 2019 ($5,000), installation of new air ducts, and multiple street space permits from 2018-2019. The building has experienced several maintenance issues and tenant complaints, the most concerning being a 2019 complaint about furnace/wall heater installation without permit, structural problems, and multiple disabled access concerns. Significant plumbing work was conducted in 2018 with the installation of a new house trap and drain line, though there were also issues with a canceled sewer/housetrap replacement project in 2017.

The property has a history of violations and complaints, notably in 2000 when there were multiple interior surface issues including water damage, damaged ceilings, and concerns about lead-based paint, which were all abated by August 2000. More recent complaints from 2018-2019 raised concerns about plumbing work done without proper permits, garden removal, and various maintenance issues. The building's mechanical systems have received attention over the years, including furnace installations and electrical upgrades, though some work has been performed without proper permits according to tenant complaints. The property has also experienced several parking-related issues in the surrounding area, with multiple complaints about vehicles parking on sidewalks or blocking driveways from 2019-2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions. Recent 311 calls show routine issues such as garbage and debris removal, though these are not significant building concerns.

Risk rating

How 325-327 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
47thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1192 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio
