Rent & eviction protection

Is 4116 19Th Ave 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.

Annual rent increase cap

Just-cause eviction

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-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 4116 19th Avenue in Ingleside Heights, owned by Jeffrey Wayman, was constructed in 1951 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues throughout its history. Most notably, in July 2001, the building underwent a routine housing inspection that revealed multiple safety and maintenance violations, including problems with stairs and handrails, combustible storage under the main staircase, exterior gate security, weather-proofing of stucco, and various other safety concerns - all of which were abated by October 26, 2001. The property has a documented history of structural issues, including rotted beams and deck repairs in 2001, termite damage to front stucco in 1985, and rot damage to left side entry stairs and support posts in 1985. More recently, in January 2017, there were fire safety concerns regarding combustible materials and electrical systems, though these issues were resolved by February 2017.

The building's recent history shows ongoing maintenance concerns, with multiple complaints and violations between 2018-2024 regarding combustible materials, electrical systems, and storage issues. There have also been several sidewalk maintenance complaints, including a 2012 complaint about dumping on the rear sidewalk (which was abated), and recent reports of garbage and debris issues on the street. The most recent activity at the property includes tenant buyouts, with one occurring in April 2024 involving eight tenants at 114 Saint Charles Avenue for $51,400, and another in November 2018 for $16,000 involving one tenant at 25 Saint Charles Avenue. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 to early 2025 primarily relate to parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of illegal parking and driveway blocking, as well as concerns about an overgrown tree and garbage issues that are still in progress or recently resolved.

Risk rating

How 4116 19Th Ave'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
26thpercentile

Out of 45 buildings in this neighborhood, 33 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

Number of units

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

Neighborhood location

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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