Rent & eviction protection

Is 4587 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 1925
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 1925
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 two-unit residential building at 4587 18th Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925 and currently owned by the Agnes J Piva Living Trust. The property has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the past decade, with the most recent significant work being a complete reroofing project in 2021 costing $11,700. Earlier records show a furnace replacement in 2011, though this permit has since expired. A concerning infrastructure issue was reported in November 2009 when a sinkhole was discovered beneath the garage and extending to the city sidewalk, though this complaint was quickly addressed the same day.

The building's immediate vicinity has experienced several municipal service calls, primarily related to tree maintenance, with the most recent being a report of a dead tree in October 2024 that remains open. Multiple tree-related issues were documented between 2012 and 2023, including damaged trees, hanging limbs, and illegal postings in 2022. A collapsed sidewalk situation in 2012 was successfully resolved through municipal intervention. The property has also seen various urban maintenance matters typical of the area, such as street cleaning needs in 2018 and Muni-related noise complaints in 2020. While there have been several maintenance and service calls recorded through the 311 system, most cases have been promptly addressed and closed, with the exception of the most recent tree-related issue from 2024.

Risk rating

How 4587 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
64thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 460 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
