Rent & eviction protection

Is 4657-4659 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.

Built 1953
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 property at 4657-4659 19th Street, a two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, has undergone significant renovations in recent years under the ownership of Jacob Seth Feder. Built in 1953, this two-story flats and duplex building has received substantial upgrades to both units, most notably in 2019-2020 when comprehensive improvements were made to unit 4659, including bathroom and kitchen remodels, the addition of a shower and pocket door, replacement of ceiling headers, installation of double patio doors, and a new gas fireplace. The renovation also included electrical upgrades with the installation of energy-efficient LED lighting fixtures, while the building's infrastructure saw improvements with the addition of a 100-amp electrical subpanel and full window replacement for both units.

The property's mechanical systems have been significantly updated, including the replacement of two furnaces in 2019-2020, though one plumbing permit related to this work appears to have expired. The building's electrical system received attention with a 200-amp overhead service upgrade completed in 2006, and recent electrical work in 2020 included comprehensive trimming of existing electrical fixtures and circuits. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to external areas outside the building's direct scope, including street cleaning, tree maintenance, and structural maintenance issues on adjacent public property, which were generally resolved by city agencies. The most recent documented permits and improvements suggest the building is well-maintained with modernized systems, though prospective tenants should note the presence of one expired plumbing permit related to furnace replacement.

Risk rating

How 4657-4659 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
98thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 26 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
