Rent & eviction protection

Is 1375 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 1968
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 1968
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 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1375 18th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Richard & Nicole Wolfgram T, was constructed in 1968 and has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance works over the past decade. Most notably, between 2019-2020, two units received complete kitchen and bathroom overhauls costing $38,000 each, including new cabinets, appliances, lighting, and electrical systems. Recent maintenance includes 2024 work on the north elevation's siding and a 2023 door replacement project, demonstrating ongoing property upkeep. The building experienced various fire safety concerns in the early 2000s, including egress obstructions and combustible storage issues, but all were resolved by May 2000. A tenant buyout occurred in October 2020 for $21,000, representing one unit's removal from the rental market.

Maintenance and infrastructure improvements have continued through the years, including the installation of new windows in 2002, reroofing in 1992, and modernizations such as electrical panel upgrades and washer/dryer installations. The property has had some recent street-level issues noted through 311 calls, primarily regarding debris and parking concerns, though these relate to public areas rather than the building itself. Historical compliance issues were primarily resolved promptly, with no active violations on record since the early 2000s, suggesting improved maintenance and safety practices in recent years. The building's maintenance history shows consistent investment in both individual unit updates and building-wide improvements, with particular attention to electrical systems, plumbing, and fire safety infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1375 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
40thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 896 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Neighborhood location

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