Rent & eviction protection

Is 1770-1772 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 1929
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.

Built 1929
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 27-unit multi-family residential building at 1770-1772 Lombard Street, owned by the Mulligan Family Trust, was constructed in 1929 and has undergone several significant improvements and faced some notable challenges in recent years. Most recently, in 2024, the building successfully completed sound level testing to demonstrate compliance with San Francisco Fire Department requirements. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, demonstrating seismic safety compliance, and has made efforts towards sustainability with the installation of solar panels in 2014 (3.825 kW system). However, the property has experienced recurring issues with fire safety requirements, including violations in 2024 related to sleeping area requirements and sprinkler system maintenance, though most violations have been subsequently corrected or abated.

The building's maintenance history shows both routine upkeep and some concerning incidents, such as a report of black mold in 2010. The property has required multiple street space permits over the years (2010-2018), and recent inspections in 2023 identified issues with a vacant commercial space that was subsequently addressed. A cluster of 311 calls in late 2022 through 2024 indicates ongoing challenges with street maintenance and parking violations in the vicinity. While some building inspection complaints have been resolved promptly, including a 2018 vacant commercial storefront issue and various routine inspections, the frequency of fire safety concerns and the need for periodic maintenance compliance suggests that building systems and safety infrastructure may require continued monitoring.

Risk rating

How 1770-1772 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
17thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 820 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.

Neighborhood location

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