Rent & eviction protection

Is 4306-4308 19Th 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.

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.

Just-cause eviction

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 property at 4306-4308 19th Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1887, containing two units in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair works over the past decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2017 when both the front staircase and foundation were repaired and replaced at a cost of $5,000. Between 2004 and 2006, substantial electrical work was completed, including the installation of an elevator and garage door opener, as well as extensive electrical systems upgrades. The building experienced multiple drainage-related issues between 2016 and 2018, concerning an improperly managed retaining wall and drainage system that resulted in water runoff affecting neighboring properties. These issues led to several building violations and complaints regarding improper drainage systems and unpermitted retaining wall construction, though these were eventually abated. Plumbing systems underwent significant upgrades between 2008-2009, including the installation of new water service and sewer systems.

The property's maintenance and compliance history shows attention to necessary repairs and systems upgrades, though there have been recurring issues with drainage management and retaining wall compliance that required multiple interventions. More recent permits include a street space permit from 2017, and current maintenance concerns appear to be primarily related to exterior upkeep, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage and debris, though these were marked as "No Work Needed" or "Resolved." The building's location has experienced some recent activity noted in 311 calls, particularly concerning illegal postings and general street maintenance issues as of late 2024.

Risk rating

How 4306-4308 19Th 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
94thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 77 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
