Rent & eviction protection

Is 1319-1399 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 1906
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 1319-1399 18th Street is a three-story multi-family residential building with 7 units, constructed in 1906 in Potrero Hill. The building's most significant recent transformation occurred in 2016 when it underwent a major change of use from manufacturing (M) to business (B), converting part of the space into a food service establishment with cafe use, including restroom ADA accessibility upgrades and comprehensive electrical and plumbing improvements totaling over $75,000. This renovation phase included the installation of kitchen equipment, a tankless water heater system, and associated electrical work. The building's mechanical systems saw further modifications in 2021 with the installation of ventless hoods, suggesting ongoing food service operations.

The property has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure challenges in recent years, particularly concerning exterior conditions. More than ten 311 calls between 2023-2024 have been logged regarding tree-related issues, primarily involving lifted sidewalks due to tree roots, with multiple incidents still marked as open and accepted by DPW Operations. Other recent external concerns include sidewalk defects and street cleaning issues. The building's history shows consistent maintenance and upgrading efforts, including previous improvements in 2006-2015 such as bedroom remodeling, structural post replacement, and the installation of awnings and lighting improvements. The property has also maintained proper compliance with various regulatory requirements, including obtaining necessary health permits and complying with zoning regulations for its restaurant use, as evidenced by multiple planning records showing approved changes of use, health permits, and ABC licenses.

Risk rating

How 1319-1399 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
10th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 653 are predicted to be safer.

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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 33.7%
Moderate concern 40.4%
Severe concern 25.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
