Rent & eviction protection

Is 1250 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 1961

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.

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 two-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building at 1250 19th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance updates since its construction in 1961. Most recently, in October 2024, a fire extinguisher complaint was resolved with conditions corrected. The property has received regular infrastructure updates, including a $27,000 re-roofing project completed in 2019 and two water heater replacements (2010 and 2017), indicating ongoing maintenance of essential systems. In 2012, windows on the sides and back of the building were retrofitted, and in 2010, security improvements were made following a Notice of Violation, including the replacement of laundry room doors to meet code requirements.

The building underwent an important compliance correction in early 2010 when multiple violations identified in late 2009 were addressed, including security viewer installations and fire safety concerns. Historical issues from the 1990s included water intrusion problems documented in 1996 and various security-related complaints. The most recent building history shows generally good maintenance practices, with no active violations as of now. While there have been some recent 311 calls regarding garbage and debris on the surrounding sidewalks (2023-2024), these appear to be related to street conditions rather than building maintenance issues. Two fire-related incidents have been recorded at the address, both of which were false alarms with no civilian injuries reported. The most recent fire safety inspection in 2024 resulted in corrective actions being taken, maintaining regulatory compliance.

Risk rating

How 1250 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
4th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1433 are predicted to be safer.

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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 14.1%
Moderate concern 23.5%
Severe concern 62.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
