Rent & eviction protection

Is 1423-1425 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.

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

Located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, 1423-1425 19th Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Joseph & Mellisa Pon. The property has undergone several maintenance and repair works over the years, including a street space permit in 2017, a wall rebuild to restore legal room configurations in 2003, and a reroofing project in 2002, with costs ranging from $1 to $4,400. The building experienced significant challenges in 2001-2003, including multiple fire safety violations regarding garbage storage, combustible materials in the garage, and wood stairs repairs, all of which were abated by August 2001. During 2003, there were several housing complaints regarding unauthorized conversions of living spaces, including attempts to subdivide rooms into separate bedrooms and create a rooming house without proper permits. These issues prompted multiple correction notices, including requirements for fire extinguishers and security light repairs.

The property's most recent record activity shows various 311 calls between 2022 and 2024, primarily related to street cleaning and hazardous materials on the sidewalk, with three separate glass-related incidents reported in August 2022. There have been multiple parking enforcement requests regarding sidewalk parking violations in 2022, specifically involving a Toyota Corolla, though officers were unable to locate the vehicles in each instance. Three abandoned vehicle complaints were filed in 2023-2024, with one from August 2023 being investigated thoroughly and found to have no merit. While the building's history shows periods of concern regarding unauthorized modifications and safety compliance, more recent records indicate primarily external maintenance and neighborhood issues rather than internal building violations or complaints.

Risk rating

How 1423-1425 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
21stpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 643 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Neighborhood location

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