Rent & eviction protection

Is 2621-2623 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1900

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 multi-family residential building at 2621-2623 18th Street, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, has a documented history dating back to its 1900 construction. The two-story flats and duplex structure, currently owned by Robert Colin Macphee, has undergone several significant modifications and faced various challenges over the years. Major historical work included foundation and basement wall reconstruction in the late 1980s (with two expired permits), staircase installation from main floor to basement in 1998, and the removal of an illegal unit and kitchen in 1996, which was part of a resolution to a flooding incident caused by a sewer backup that had affected multiple units and required significant remediation. Other improvements include a completed reroofing project in 1990 and a now-expired permit for skylight installation and bathroom renovation from 1998.

Most recently, the building's surrounding area has experienced multiple urban challenges, particularly in late 2024, with numerous reports of encampments, abandoned vehicles, and street maintenance issues, though these external conditions have not been directly linked to the building's safety or habitability. The property has had three documented false alarm incidents with its fire detection system, though none resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries. A notable fire-related violation was recorded in 2005 at a nearby address (2601 Mariposa Street) for operating without a fire department permit, though this was not directly associated with the subject property. The building's maintenance history shows generally prompt attention to structural and safety issues, with most permits reaching completion status, though some historical permits are listed as expired.

Risk rating

How 2621-2623 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
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.

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
