Rent & eviction protection

Is 1310-1312 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 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 property at 1310-1312 18th Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by the Naifeh A Batarse Living Trust. The building is actively undergoing seismic improvements, with a voluntary soft-story retrofit initiated in 2022 at a cost of $180,000, followed by a recent revision in December 2024 to modify toilet locations and plumbing. Significant plumbing work is also underway, including new fixtures for commercial space and sewer line work, with permits issued in October 2021 and November 2024. The building has seen several major improvements over the past decade, including an accessible business entrance upgrade in 2019 and a change of use from laundry to restaurant in 2018, though there was one violation in October 2021 for unpermitted construction work that was promptly addressed within eight days.

The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues, including two sidewalk defects reported in 2023 and 2020, a missing sewer vent cover in 2018, and multiple noise complaints related to construction work. Recent 311 calls indicate ongoing concerns about construction impact, particularly regarding noise and debris management. Historical records show various improvements including roofing work and the installation of an awning in the early 1990s. The building's seismic retrofit work, now spanning multiple years and involving complex plumbing upgrades, represents the most significant ongoing project, indicating the owner's commitment to improving structural safety despite some associated disruptions to resident and neighbor comfort.

Risk rating

How 1310-1312 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
64thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 261 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
