Rent & eviction protection

Is 1800-1802 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 1932

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 1932
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 property at 1800-1802 19th Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a two-story, multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1932 and currently owned by 1800 19th Avenue LLC. The building has a documented history of code compliance issues, particularly regarding unauthorized renovations and safety concerns. Most notably, there is an active complaint from 2017 (Complaint #201764202) concerning unpermitted work that involved approximately 17 exterior windows, an exit door replacement, and laundry area modifications, which included plumbing and electrical work. This violation has resulted in monthly monitoring fees. The building has undergone several significant renovation projects in recent years, including window and door replacements, a laundry remodel, and bathroom/kitchen renovations, typically following initial violations.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure needs, with completed work including sewer repair (2010), installation of new water service (2010), and more recent laundry room rewiring (2019, shown as both plumbing and electrical work). Several building violations from 2010 relating to unauthorized plumbing work (PEX piping, water heater installation, and water service connections) were eventually resolved, and a 2006 violation regarding an unpermitted furnace installation was abated. More recent resident concerns include a 2022 complaint about an excessively loud generator affecting sleep and causing structural concerns in the commercial space. The property has maintained its permitted advertising sign installation, with periodic maintenance work carried out by Clear Channel Outdoor, though there has been some history of unauthorized signage modifications that required correction.

Risk rating

How 1800-1802 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
24thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1135 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
