Rent & eviction protection

Is 3505 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.

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.

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 20-unit multi-family residential building at 3505 19th Street, located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, was constructed in 1978 and has undergone significant modifications and improvements over the years. Most recently, in January 2024, there is an active complaint regarding the renewal of boiler permits. In 2023, multiple violations were recorded related to general maintenance, including requirements for exterior paint, fire escape maintenance, floor drain cover replacement, and sleeping area requirements, though most of these were abated by late 2023. The building has undergone substantial system upgrades, including a $14,000 fire system upgrade in 2018, installation of liquid nitrogen tanks in 2017, and various HVAC improvements between 2012-2013. Notable construction-related complaints were filed in 2017 regarding early morning work hours and construction noise, particularly related to the installation of cryotherapy equipment. The building's fire safety history shows several violations over the years, including issues with sprinklers, extinguishers, and alarm systems, though many were promptly corrected. Recent 311 calls from 2024-2025 primarily concern exterior maintenance issues such as graffiti on public property near the building. The property has maintained compliance with significant regulatory requirements, including a 2018 review by OSTR staff regarding potential illegal short-term rentals, which found no violation.

Risk rating

How 3505 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
6thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 751 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.
