Rent & eviction protection

Is 1308-1310 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1924
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 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 three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1308-1310 18th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Elaine K Archbold since 2002, has undergone several significant renovations and faced some notable issues in recent years. Most recently, in early 2023, there was a complaint about unpermitted renovation work throughout the building that was filed with the Building Inspection Division, though building permits were subsequently issued for partition wall modifications and a gas line pressure test in June 2023. During 2022, the property underwent substantial improvements, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units (completed at a cost of $44,000), electrical system upgrades, and commercial office rewiring with new LED lighting and heater installations.

The building's history includes some concerning events, particularly regarding building safety and occupancy. A complaint from January 2023 reported a vacant barbershop, and there were multiple 311 calls in late 2024 related to garbage and debris issues in the vicinity of the building. Notably, there were two significant withdrawal or expired permits from the late 1980s-1990s that could indicate previous attempts to modify the building's use or layout, though their specific impacts are unclear given their age. The property has also required some administrative adjustments, such as the address modification work completed in 2019 to clarify its location information across multiple addresses. The building's systems have been receiving attention, with recent permits showing work on electrical systems, plumbing fixtures, and heating elements to maintain and upgrade the building's infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1308-1310 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
33rdpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1000 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
