Rent & eviction protection

Is 2300 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 1910
2 or more units
9 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 1910
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

2300 Lombard Street is a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Buchanan Union LLC. The property has undergone significant recent renovations, particularly between 2023-2024, including extensive unit remodeling, bathroom and kitchen upgrades in multiple apartments, and electrical system rewiring. In 2023, the building completed a mandatory fire alarm system upgrade to comply with SF Fire Code requirements, and a substantial investment of $172,494 was made in December 2023 for bathroom accessibility improvements, lighting additions, and ADA compliance work.

The building has a documented history of fire safety issues, with multiple violations recorded in 2024, including problems with sleeping area requirements, sprinklers and standpipe systems, and combustible materials, though many of these were corrected or are in the process of being resolved. Historical violations from 2002-2008 were mostly abated, including issues with fire escapes, plumbing, electrical systems, and handrails. The property has maintained active compliance with soft-story retrofit requirements (Tier 4, Work Complete), and a recent tenant buyout occurred at 3215 Pierce Street in January 2023 for $11,000 involving two tenants. Recent maintenance records show ongoing attention to building systems, with work completed on furnaces, plumbing, and various building systems in 2023-2024.

Risk rating

How 2300 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
32ndpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 672 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
