Rent & eviction protection

Is 2828 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 1900
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 three-unit, two-story residential building at 2828 19th Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Robert F. Shapiro, has experienced significant recent activity throughout 2023-2025. The property underwent several substantial improvements in 2023-2025, including the replacement of eight windows with energy-efficient wood composite units in October 2023, and comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodeling on both the first and second floors in early 2025, with a total construction cost exceeding $106,000. Two notable building inspection complaints were filed in 2025 regarding unpermitted modifications: one concerning unauthorized rooftop deck modifications including tiles and artificial grass, and another related to unpermitted restaurant renovations affecting multiple properties including 2814 19th Street, though both cases are listed as not active.

The building's recent history has also seen its share of urban challenges, particularly in mid-2026, with multiple 311 service requests addressing street-level issues including garbage, debris, and temporary encampments in the vicinity. Of particular note are two garbage and debris complaints involving human waste/urine and a mattress that occurred in July 2026, as well as one that was resolved through the relocation of a homeless individual. A complaint filed in June 2026 regarding entertainment noise was investigated and found to be within compliance limits. While these exterior issues may impact the immediate neighborhood experience, they appear to be more related to urban context rather than building-specific problems. The building's overall record shows a pattern of recent investment in improvements, particularly focusing on interior upgrades and energy-efficient enhancements.

Risk rating

How 2828 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
67thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 785 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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