Rent & eviction protection

Is 4318 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1887

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 1887
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 4318 19th Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1887, currently owned by the John D Moriarty 2012 Revocable Trust. The most significant documented concern regarding this property is a 2019 housing inspection complaint about an allegedly illegal basement unit, which was reported to have non-compliant conditions including inoperable windows, inadequate heating, and high humidity issues, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active" with no noted resolution date. The building has a documented history of street cleaning and maintenance issues in the immediate vicinity, with multiple 311 calls between 2017 and 2024 reporting various types of debris and waste on the street and sidewalk, including hazardous materials, general garbage, and sanitary concerns. While these external cleanliness issues do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions, they may indicate broader neighborhood maintenance concerns. The most recent incidents occurred in late 2024, involving reports of needles and general debris, though all these cases were resolved through appropriate city services. The property has shown consistent external maintenance needs over the past several years, with multiple reports of garbage and debris requiring attention from city services, though there have been no internal building code violation reports in recent years since the 2019 complaint.

Risk rating

How 4318 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
21stpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1010 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
