Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 3902-3908 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 1922

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 1922
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 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 3902-3908 19th Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1922 and is currently owned by Toy Siu Kim Huey & David K. &. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements over the years, with the most recent being a completed reroofing project in June 2024 costing $41,600. Other notable structural work includes rear stair structure repairs completed in 2002. The building has experienced multiple inspection-related issues, particularly in early 2002, when it received several violations related to fire safety including fire proofing repairs, egress obstructions, stair repairs, combustible storage, and gas meter requirements, all of which were abated by June 2002. A routine apartment inspection in 2008 also identified issues with lead paint, interior walls, and handrails, though these were resolved by June 2008.

More recently, in 2019, a hoarding situation was reported that resulted in a violation regarding combustible storage, though this was abated by March 2019. The property has faced recurring graffiti and maintenance issues in the surrounding area, with multiple 311 calls for graffiti (most recently in November 2024), garbage and debris (September 2024), and various other public infrastructure concerns. These external issues appear to be more related to the neighborhood's general circumstances rather than specific problems with the building itself. The building's violation history shows that while there have been several safety and maintenance concerns over the years, these have generally been addressed in a timely manner once identified.

Risk rating

How 3902-3908 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
44thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 716 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

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