Rent & eviction protection

Is 18-20 Beverly 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 1973

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1973
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 18-20 Beverly Street in Ingleside Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1973, currently owned by the Tang Revocable Living Trust. The building recently faced significant maintenance issues, particularly in early 2023, when violations were filed regarding lead paint hazards on January 10, 2023, which required immediate attention due to potential health risks for residents and visitors. These violations were addressed through a completed $30,000 siding replacement project in March 2023, with final abatement confirmed on October 4, 2023. The building has a documented history of fire safety inspections and violations between 2008 and 2018, including combustible materials issues and several other uncategorized complaints, though these were generally resolved upon inspection. Earlier maintenance work includes a reroofing project from 2006.

The property's immediate area has experienced various municipal service calls in recent months (January 2025), primarily involving street cleaning and environmental services, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety. While there are multiple fire sprinkler system compliance violations recorded in the vicinity (between December 2024 and August 2024) at addresses 125 Cambon Drive and 150 Font Boulevard, these appear to be associated with different buildings and not directly relevant to 18-20 Beverly Street. The building's inspection and violation history suggests a pattern of periodic maintenance needs, with the most significant recent issue being the lead paint hazard which has now been resolved.

Risk rating

How 18-20 Beverly 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
84thpercentile

Out of 45 buildings in this neighborhood, 7 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
