Rent & eviction protection

Is 3590 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 1975
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 1975
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 39-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 3590 19th Street, Mission Dolores, built in 1975, has undergone significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the past two decades. Major improvements were completed in 2014, including window and shingle siding replacement, comprehensive unit renovations, and installation of new boilers, totaling approximately $3.4 million. The property has seen several critical system upgrades, including a new fire alarm system and elevator modernization in 2014 ($50,000), and elevator-related issues have persisted, with the most recent complaint in March 2024 regarding elevator outages affecting senior residents. There have been notable safety concerns, including a 2021 incident involving mold and asbestos discovery under a kitchen sink, and a recent October 2023 violation regarding sleeping area requirements that is currently open. The building's mechanical systems have required ongoing attention, with multiple boiler installations and permits in 2017-2018, though compliance issues arose in 2017 regarding operating permits that were eventually resolved. Historical records show earlier maintenance challenges, including garage-related problems and heating issues in 2003, but most recent building inspections have shown fewer violations. The property has experienced routine fire safety incidents, primarily involving smoke detector activations and medical assists, with no reported civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls (2024) have primarily concerned street-level maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 3590 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
3rdpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 775 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
