Rent & eviction protection

Is 463-465 18Th 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.

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 1922
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

This two-unit multi-family residential building, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Ravano Living Trust, is located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. The two-story structure, classified as a Flats & Duplex, has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a reroofing project in 2008 costing $9,100, street and sidewalk permits in 2010, and notably, a fire safety inspection in March 2010 that resulted in the correction of combustible materials violation on the same day it was reported. A concerning incident occurred in 1998 when complaints were filed regarding the north-facing wall of 463 18th Avenue, which had issues with peeling paint and mold that affected an adjacent children's playground, though this was subsequently abated.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external municipal services rather than building-specific issues, with multiple street cleaning and debris removal requests between 2022-2025, including resolutions for a Christmas tree pickup, loose garbage, and furniture removal. The most recent incidents include a pavement defect reported in August 2023 (currently open), a resolved parking violation in September 2023, and several park-related issues in 2023 involving patrol responses for park rules violations and damaged property. While these external municipal matters don't directly reflect on the building's condition, they do provide context about the surrounding area and recent governmental interactions with the property location.

Risk rating

How 463-465 18Th 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
57thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 968 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
