Rent & eviction protection

Is 3226 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 1900
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 1900
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 3226 18th Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by the Moran Family Trust. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, with comprehensive renovations completed in early 2023 including kitchen and bathroom remodels, hardwood floor installation, window replacement, and exterior wood siding repairs, amounting to $65,000. Concurrently, the building received substantial electrical and plumbing upgrades, including rewiring of multiple areas and bathroom renovations, all properly permitted and completed.

The property has a documented history of maintenance, with work records showing roofing projects completed in 1998 and 1997, though one of these permits expired. Recent activity in the vicinity has included multiple 311 calls throughout 2024, primarily related to general street cleaning issues such as loose garbage and debris, with several reports specifically mentioning mattresses and other waste. Notable incidents include a report of human waste or urine in November 2024, a fallen tree in October 2024, and an illegal posting incident in October 2024. While these recent neighborhood issues may impact resident experience, it's worth noting that most 311 calls have been promptly resolved, and the building itself has received significant recent improvements to its infrastructure and amenities.

Risk rating

How 3226 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
97thpercentile
