Parkside, SF 94116 2198007 4 units · 2 fl · 1946

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2163-2165 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 1946

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 1946
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 Pang Family Trust's four-unit, two-story apartment building at 2163-2165 19th Avenue in the Parkside neighborhood was constructed in 1946 and has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years. Most recently, in December 2023, there was a sewage backup issue that was promptly addressed by PUC Sewer Operations. The building has received regular attention to its infrastructure, including a complete reroofing in 2016 ($7,500), structural repairs in 2015 addressing dry rot in stairs and deck ($16,000), and the removal of approximately 1,300 square feet of asbestos transite shingles in 2003 ($6,000). There were two notable complaints in 2014-2015 regarding construction work impacts on neighboring properties, including concerns about unsecured construction cloth in late 2014 and debris affecting a nearby daycare in 2015.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety concerns, with a routine safety inspection conducted in 2011, though the installation of an automatic fire sprinkler system in 1995 appears to have been not completed. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external issues such as parking violations and street cleaning matters, with multiple reports of blocked driveways between June and August 2024, some resulting in citations. The property appears to be regularly maintained, with significant investments in infrastructure improvements, though there have been periodic issues requiring external agency involvement, particularly related to parking disruptions and sewer maintenance.

Risk rating

How 2163-2165 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
22ndpercentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 199 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 location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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