Rent & eviction protection

Is 1814 22Nd 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 1951
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.

Built 1951
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 5-unit multi-family residential building at 1814 22nd Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Eileen Lin Wong Trust, has undergone significant improvements and faced serious challenges since its construction in 1951. The most critical event in its recent history was a substantial fire on October 14, 2016, that caused significant damage to Units 1 and 2, as well as smoke and water damage to other units and common areas, rendering the building temporarily uninhabitable. Following the fire, the building underwent major renovations including a seismic retrofit as a mandatory soft-story building, completed in 2016 at a cost of $110,000. In 2017-2018, comprehensive renovations were performed across all five units, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and installation of new safety features such as smoke detectors. The building has an active soft-story retrofit program (Tier 3) with work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

More recently, there have been recurring maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly regarding fire safety systems. Between 2021 and 2024, multiple violations and complaints have been documented related to fire extinguishers, sprinkler/standpipe systems, exit maintenance, and electrical systems, though these were generally corrected within a reasonable timeframe. The building's external environment has faced various challenges as evidenced by multiple recent 311 calls (in late 2024) regarding parking violations, sidewalk issues, and waste management concerns, indicating ongoing maintenance requirements in the surrounding area. The property has also demonstrated a pattern of routine inspections and maintenance, with several significant upgrades including seismic retrofitting, window replacements, and comprehensive unit renovations, suggesting active management of the building's structural and safety systems.

Risk rating

How 1814 22Nd 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
10thpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 733 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.

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.
