Rent & eviction protection

Is 4416 18Th St 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 1900
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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
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

4416 18th Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Sandringham Trust. The property has experienced recurring sewer and plumbing issues, with the most recent violations reported in April 2023 showing strong sewage odors and leakage from the kitchen area, which authorities documented as a health nuisance. These plumbing problems persisted despite repair efforts in May 2023, leading to additional construction work in August 2023 involving concrete floor repairs in the kitchen and bathroom areas, at a cost of $11,500.

The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, including a substantial kitchen remodel in 2012-2013 that included new equipment, lighting, and exhaust systems, as well as the installation of a fire suppression system. Other maintenance work has included reroofing in 2015, gas meter upgrades in 2014, and various repairs to address structural and safety concerns. The property has faced multiple complaints regarding noise and late operating hours from the commercial tenant (Mama Ji's), particularly during 2013-2018, though many of these issues were eventually resolved. Safety features such as fire alarm systems were improved, though there were two false alarm incidents recorded. Recent months have seen recurring issues with parking enforcement, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in October 2024 regarding sidewalk parking violations, though responding officers were unable to locate any violations.

Risk rating

How 4416 18Th St'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 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 971 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
