Rent & eviction protection

Is 3661 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 1964
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 1964
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 12-unit apartment building at 3661 19th Street, constructed in 1964 in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, has experienced significant maintenance and safety challenges in recent years. Most notably, there was a troubling pattern of elevator malfunctions throughout 2023-2024, with multiple complaints about the elevator being out of service, including incidents of people being trapped inside. The building has undergone various infrastructure upgrades, including a major fire alarm system upgrade in October 2023 costing $47,272, and substantial work on unit electrical sub-panels and apartment features in September 2023. Historical records show the building has previously faced fire safety issues, with multiple violations documented in 2006 related to fire extinguishers, storage of combustible rubbish, and fire escape maintenance.

Recent building improvements have focused on safety and modernization, including a fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 (filed at $47,900) and comprehensive unit renovations. However, maintenance issues persist, as evidenced by a May 2024 complaint regarding kitchen electrical outlets and circuit breakers in unit 201. The building has a "Tier 3" Soft Story status, indicating seismic vulnerability, though no specific mitigation work appears on record. In terms of tenant rights, there was one recorded buyout in 2018 for $20,000 involving one tenant. The property has undergone substantial work to address historical violations and safety concerns, including completion of Electrical, Plumbing, and Building permits in recent months totaling significant investment in building systems and resident amenities.

Risk rating

How 3661 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
