Rent & eviction protection

Is 463 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 1962
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 1962
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 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 463 19th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Quan Joanne Moon, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements in recent years. Most notably, in 2022, the building received substantial fire safety upgrades including the installation of a new fire alarm system with low-frequency sounders to comply with San Francisco Fire Department requirements, followed by corrections to fire panel and detector specifications. In 2022, units 3 and 6 had their windows replaced with modern vinyl frame windows, and the building's roof was previously replaced in 1997. Historical records from the early 2000s show multiple safety violations that were subsequently addressed, including concerns about egress obstructions, lead paint hazards, and various fire safety issues, all of which were abated by December 2002.

The building has maintained an active safety compliance record, with periodic inspections and prompt responses to fire-related concerns. A combustible materials issue was identified and corrected in 2018, and multiple fire alarm system inspections were conducted in 2005 and 2009. Recent history shows no active building violations or major safety concerns, though there have been recurring issues with sidewalk parking in the vicinity as documented through 311 calls between 2020 and 2024. The most recent building-related incidents were routine park patrols in 2023, which involved enforcement of park rules rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 463 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
23rdpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1732 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Property class: mixed-use w/ SFR

Mixed-use property including a single-family residential component.
