Mission Dolores, SF 94110 3588070 3 units · 3 fl · 1910

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 3565-3569 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.

Built 1910
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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 3565-3569 18th Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Lee Lulula, has undergone several significant improvements since its 1910 construction. Most notably, in 2018, a voluntary soft-story retrofit was completed at a cost of $95,000, enhancing the building's seismic safety. The property has also seen substantial maintenance work, including repairs to address dry rot in 2018 (with associated plumbing and electrical work), replacement of the rear wood stairway and reinforcement of the roof deck in 2017, and significant top-floor unit renovations in 2013 that included kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical upgrades, and window replacement.

The building has a documented history of fire safety violations from 2001, when multiple issues were identified related to combustible storage and fire proofing, though these were all abated by November 2001. The property underwent two reroofing projects, one in 1993 and another in 2007, and received electrical system improvements including service upgrades and meter installations in 2004. More recent improvements include the installation of gas fireplaces in 2015, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building systems. While there are no active building violations or recent complaints, the property has experienced periodic issues typical of urban environments, as evidenced by 311 calls in the past year primarily relating to street maintenance and parking issues, though these are not directly related to building conditions or safety.

Risk rating

How 3565-3569 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
48thpercentile
