Rent & eviction protection

Is 4032 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 1951
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 1951
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 4032 19th Street is a two-unit, two-story residential building constructed in 1951, currently owned by the Daniel S & Julia Etzel Revo Trust. The most significant events in the building's history occurred in 2005-2006, when unauthorized construction work led to multiple building violations and complaints regarding an approximately 400-square-foot roof addition with walls, windows, and a new structure. These violations resulted in abatement proceedings, with the owner eventually complying by removing the unauthorized roof penthouse in 2006 at a cost of $3,000. All related violations and complaints were officially abated by August 21, 2013.

In recent years, the property has experienced several maintenance and enforcement issues. The most frequent problems have been related to parking, with multiple incidents of blocked driveways reported between 2020 and 2024, though these are generally resolved when reported. Other recent concerns include hazardous materials (oil/paint) removal in January 2024, garbage and debris issues in 2024 and 2022, and an open Shared Spaces violation from April 2023. A minor fire-related incident involving combustible materials was reported and resolved in May 2012. In terms of emergency services, there was one documented false fire alarm at the property, though no injuries or actual fire damage occurred.

Risk rating

How 4032 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
88thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 153 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
