Rent & eviction protection

Is 2412-2414 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.

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 2412-2414 18th Street property is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Potrero Hill, built in 1921 and currently owned by Derek Gee. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a sewage backup incident in March 2024 involving a 4-inch sewer vent, which required field work and was ultimately resolved. The property has also faced multiple shared space violations in January 2024, including hazards related to tripping, uncovered wires and cables, and issues with waste management including trash and porta potties, though these were all marked as resolved by January 9, 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring sewer issues, with another sewage backup event recorded in September 2021, and some tree maintenance concerns in March 2024. Earlier records from 2013-2014 indicate periodic problems with weeds and grass on the property, though these were generally marked as "Condition Corrected" or "No Merit." While some of the more recent service requests in 2024 were either insufficient in information or cancelled, the frequency and variety of issues in early 2024 suggest there may have been ongoing challenges with property maintenance and shared space management. The last reported call for general cleaning in July 2022 resulted in no violations being found.

Risk rating

How 2412-2414 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
78thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 160 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
