Rent & eviction protection

Is 18-20 Day 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 1929

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.

Built 1929
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 two-unit residential building at 18-20 Day Street in Noe Valley, owned by John Kerim Frager & Rehamni, was constructed in 1929 and is classified as a two-story flats & duplex structure. The property has undergone significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent major work completed in 2020 involving comprehensive kitchen and bathroom upgrades costing $26,000, including new cabinets, tiles, appliances, and fixtures, with corresponding plumbing and electrical work. Earlier improvements between 2003-2006 included substantial electrical upgrades, kitchen renovations, and repairs to rear stairs addressing prior concerns about safety. The building has a history of compliance issues, notably receiving two Notices of Violation in 2003-2004 regarding front exterior stairs and landings, which were subsequently resolved through repairs.

Recent activity around the property, particularly from 2022 to 2025, has primarily involved external maintenance and neighborhood issues, including multiple reports of garbage and debris on the street, sidewalk cleaning needs, and parking violations. Three 911 calls were made in late 2023 regarding street cleaning, graffit removal, and parking enforcement matters. There was also a complaint in April 2020 about non-essential construction work during what appeared to be pandemic-related restrictions, though this complaint was marked as "Not Active." The most recent maintenance work on record is from June 2020, suggesting limited recent internal improvements. Historical records show systematic updates to building systems and living spaces, though there are no records of tenant buyouts or occupancy changes in the available data.

Risk rating

How 18-20 Day 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
43rdpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1071 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
