Rent & eviction protection

Is 3606-3612 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 1924

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 1924
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 3606-3612 18th Street, also known as 598 Guerrero Street, is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924 and currently owned by T & A Drolapas & Sons L P. The building's recent history has been dominated by commercial space improvements, particularly related to the restaurant component, with significant renovations occurring between 2019-2021 including kitchen upgrades, ADA improvements, and electrical/plumbing work totaling over $120,000. These improvements followed several compliance issues from 2001-2007, during which the property faced multiple violations including water damage repair needs, fire safety concerns, and interior surface maintenance requirements, all of which were abated by January 2007. The building underwent routine inspections during this period that revealed various safety and maintenance issues, including fire escape ladder concerns and fire extinguisher maintenance needs, though all these violations were eventually resolved.

More recent developments include a 2022 anonymous complaint about potential unauthorized construction, a 2019 complaint regarding sidewalk safety concerns with a restaurant door, and several 311 calls from late 2024 primarily related to street maintenance issues such as graffiti and illegal parking, none of which appear to indicate urgent building safety concerns. The property has maintained active compliance with fire safety protocols, experiencing only false alarms (745, 622 codes) in recorded fire incidents. The building's historical permit records show regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, including a 2003 window replacement project and various commercial space modifications, though there have been some expired permits noted in the records. The restaurant portion of the property has maintained its operating status with appropriate zoning and health department approvals, most recently confirmed as suitable for a Type 47 Liquor License.

Risk rating

How 3606-3612 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
10thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 719 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
