Rent & eviction protection

Is 460-464 Lombard 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 1906

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 6-unit residential building at 460-464 Lombard Street, owned by Sturla Family Trust, is a three-story multi-family apartment building built in 1906 in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent major activity being a reroofing project completed in 2019 at a cost of $42,209. The building has seen consistent improvements to its heating systems, with multiple furnace replacements recorded between 2012 and 2018, including high-efficiency upgrades. Notable interior improvements include a comprehensive kitchen remodel in 2013 (costing $30,000) that included plumbing, electrical, and lighting upgrades, as well as bathroom renovations, and earlier kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2004-2005. The building's infrastructure has been maintained with attention to safety, including the installation of hand-dug piers in 2005 to support the retaining wall and various plumbing improvements including sewer repairs in 2016.

The property has experienced some maintenance and safety issues over its history, particularly during a cluster of violations in 2006 related to fire safety and gas utility requirements, though these were all abated by June 30, 2006. More recent fire safety concerns were documented in December 2017 regarding exit maintenance, fire escape, and alarm systems, which were resolved by April 2018. The building has had several false fire alarms and detector activations, but no actual fires or civilian injuries have been recorded. Recent maintenance includes multiple street cleaning and debris removal requests in 2023 and 2024, though these were related to public areas outside the building. The property's unit renovations have included extensive electrical work, installing new lighting, receptacles, and appliance connections, demonstrating ongoing investment in building improvements and modernization.

Risk rating

How 460-464 Lombard 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
28thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 492 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
