Rent & eviction protection

Is 3816 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 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 3816 19th Street is a two-story flats and duplex structure located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, owned by Paraskeva Paris C, and built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements over the past few decades, with the most recent work including a furnace replacement in May 2023 and reroofing in July 2022, both of which were properly permitted and completed. The building has experienced some plumbing challenges, with a complete sewer line replacement performed in 2011, installation of rain leaders in 2010, and a documented issue with rainwater diversion to the neighboring property at 3822 in June 2010, which was resolved within eight days of filing. Historical maintenance records show attention to structural issues, including a completed repair of dry rot in 1987, though several permits from 1979 (for a fence and other work) and from 1994 (reroofing) have either been cancelled or expired without completion status being noted.

The property has had minimal external issues, with only three 311 calls on record in recent years: a parking enforcement matter in March 2023, a water leak resolution in September 2017 involving house pipes, and a police response to a homelessness concern in October 2016, all of which were properly closed and resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, particularly of critical systems like roofing and plumbing, with no active violations currently on record and all documented issues appearing to have been addressed in a timely manner.

Risk rating

How 3816 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
86thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 179 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.

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
