Rent & eviction protection

Is 18 Henry 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 1903
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 1903
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 18 Henry Street in San Francisco's Duboce Triangle neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1903, currently owned by Barbara Holte. The building's maintenance history shows three significant improvement projects: a $25,000 rear stairs replacement and deck expansion completed in 2008, a roof installation project from 1995 (though this permit expired), and fireplace restoration work including a new hearth and rebuilt firebox completed in 1991.

The property has experienced several recurring issues with parking violations in recent years, particularly between 2022 and 2024, with multiple complaints about vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks. The most recent cluster of complaints occurred throughout 2023-2024, with four documented cases of driveway blocking, three of which required enforcement intervention in the last year alone. There were also two graffiti incidents reported in 2021 and early 2023 that required government attention, though there were no responses from PG&E regarding these issues. While the building's structural improvements indicate some level of maintenance, the persistent parking enforcement issues suggest ongoing challenges related to access and neighborhood compliance in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 18 Henry 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
79thpercentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 60 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.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.
