Rent & eviction protection

Is 2275 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 before 1979
Built 1927
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.

Annual rent increase cap

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 17-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2275 19th Avenue in the Parkside neighborhood, constructed in 1927, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 with a cost of $150,000, achieving Tier 2 compliance status and receiving a CFC (Certificate of Final Completion). The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with active violations as of late 2023-2024 related to sleeping area requirements and fire extinguisher maintenance. A pattern of fire safety compliance issues is evident, with multiple violations for alarm systems and extinguishers recorded between 2011 and 2024, though most have been corrected.

Residents have reported various maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2014-2015 mold problem in bathroom and dining room ceilings, several heating system outages (with no heat reported for extended periods in 2011), and plumbing issues. The building has seen substantial infrastructure improvements, including a 400-amp electrical service upgrade in 2014, bathroom and kitchen remodels in Unit 6 (2014), and boiler system updates. A routine inspection in 2018 revealed multiple outstanding issues that remain active, including problems with smoke enclosure doors, fire escape ladders, and various required safety certifications. Recent maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety requirements, though some violations remain open while others have been marked as abated.

Risk rating

How 2275 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
0thpercentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 255 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
