Rent & eviction protection

Is 526-530 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 1912
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1912
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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 526-530 Lombard Street in North Beach, owned by Jacqueline & Kyle Holm Revo, has a complex history dating back to its 1912 construction. The property has experienced recurring issues with hoarding and fire safety violations, with documented complaints and violations in 2008 and 2016-2017 related to hazardous materials, egress obstructions, and combustible storage. These violations were eventually abated, with the most recent hoarding complaint being resolved in March 2017. The building underwent several proposed modifications in 2017, including the conversion of a ground floor storage area into an accessory dwelling unit and modifications to the rear facade, though these permits were ultimately cancelled. The property has seen multiple improvements over the years, including a complete electrical upgrade in 2008 with a 400-amp underground service and three 90-amp sub-panels, plumbing work including re-coppering of the building's systems, and various maintenance items such as garage door replacement. Several routine inspections between 1999 and 2006 noted various compliance issues, including the need for fire extinguishers, repairs to wood stairs, and concerns about paint conditions, though these were addressed and closed.

Recent records from 2023-2024 show typical urban maintenance issues including tree maintenance needs, graffiti incidents, and parking enforcement matters. The property underwent significant electrical upgrades in 2008, including kitchen and bathroom remodels for units #526 and #530. The building's historical permit activity includes various proposals for expansion and modification, including a 2017 proposal for a new four-story, two-unit building with basement, though this was ultimately withdrawn. The property has maintained active communication with city agencies regarding necessary updates and improvements, and while there have been multiple violations and complaints over the years, they have generally been addressed and abated through proper channels. The building's infrastructure improvements, such as the 400-amp electrical service installation and plumbing upgrades, suggest ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts by the current ownership.

Risk rating

How 526-530 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
79thpercentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 76 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
