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 4079-4085 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1923
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 Basuino Family Living Trust owns this 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 4079-4085 19th Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. Built in 1923, the property has a documented history of stairway maintenance issues, with significant repairs required in 1984, 2002, and most recently in 2009 when dry rot in the back stairs, stair threads, and basement ceiling required remediation at a cost of $1,800. The building underwent a routine inspection in 2007 which uncovered multiple violations including interior surface damage, fire safety concerns, and various maintenance issues, all of which were subsequently addressed and abated by 2009. Earlier violations from 2002 also involved stair repairs, gas meter requirements, and fire safety compliance, with all issues resolved by April 2003.

Recent external conditions around the property have been documented through multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2025, primarily relating to street cleaning, parking enforcement, and maintenance issues including reports of garbage, debris, and waste on the sidewalk. Notable recent incidents include three sidewalk cleaning requests for garbage and debris in 2024, multiple reports of driveway blocking requiring parking enforcement in 2023, and a damaged tree report in 2023 regarding illegal pruning. While these exterior issues do not directly affect building safety, they provide context regarding the immediate neighborhood environment. The most recent building-related activity on record shows an encampment case from January 2025, though this appears to be a street-related issue rather than a direct building concern.

Risk rating

How 4079-4085 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
37thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 805 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location
