Rent & eviction protection

Is 3585-3595 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.

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 1911
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 6-unit apartment building at 3585-3595 18th Street, located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, is a 3-story multi-family residential structure built in 1911 and currently owned by 3585 18th Street LLC. The building's maintenance history shows recurring attention to stair safety, with repairs to both front and rear stairs documented in 2005, 2006, and 2011, including addressing issues with handrails and fire proofing materials. A significant set of violations was recorded in January 2023, relating to fire safety and building compliance, including concerns about flammable storage, garbage receptacle placement, and missing compliance affidavits, though these were all abated by March 2023. The building underwent structural enhancements in 1996 with the addition of shear walls to the basement level, and received plumbing upgrades in 2015 with the installation of a new gas line to the kitchen stove.

Recent activity indicates limited internal building issues, though there has been persistent external maintenance work, as evidenced by multiple street space permits in 2016, and several 311 calls in late 2024 primarily related to graffiti and sidewalk cleaning. The property has faced some challenges with regulatory compliance over the years, including issues with building permits for signage in 2013, though these were subsequently resolved. The most recent fire violation was recorded in 2006, and while the building has undergone regular inspections and repairs, there have been no documented tenant buyouts at this address. The property's maintenance record shows ongoing efforts to address both routine upkeep and specific compliance issues, with most historical violations being promptly resolved.

Risk rating

How 3585-3595 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
36thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 511 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Building size

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