Rent & eviction protection

Is 2274-2278 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 1916
2 or more units

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 1916
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 2-story multi-family residential building at 2274-2278 Lombard Street, owned by Exemption Trust The, was constructed in 1916 and contains 3 units with a ground-floor commercial space, most recently occupied by Baan Yaai, a bona fide eating place with an ABC Type 41 license for On-Sale Beer & Wine. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance updates over the years, including substantial accessibility improvements in 2018 with the completion of ADA-compliant bathroom modifications and related electrical work costing $10,000. The building's fire safety systems have been a recurring focus, with multiple inspection requirements between 2015-2022 for alarms, extinguishers, and sprinkler systems, all of which were ultimately resolved with corrected conditions. Notable structural work occurred in 2004 when foundation underpinning was required at both 2274 and 2280 Lombard in response to adjacent construction, costing $30,000.

The property has experienced several compliance and maintenance issues over its history, including violations related to grease removal device requirements in 2014 and vacant storefront compliance in 2019, both of which were subsequently resolved. A significant plumbing modification in 2018 addressed the addition of an ADA-compliant bathroom, though earlier attempts at accessibility improvements in 2012 had expired permits. The building's rooftop was replaced in 2007, and a fire suppression system upgrade was completed in 2009. Recent months have seen numerous reports of street cleaning issues in the surrounding area, including garbage, debris, and parking violations, though these are external to the building itself. The property has maintained active compliance with regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the correction of various fire safety and accessibility issues over time, with no current violations or active complaints on record as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 2274-2278 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
35thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 642 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
