Rent & eviction protection

Is 1825-1829 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 1923
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 1923
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 1825-1829 Lombard Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Yu Family Re 1 LLC, was constructed in 1923 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The property has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, particularly in 2023-2024, with recurring issues related to urban cleanliness and maintenance. Most concerning is the recent graffiti activity, with an open case from October 2023 reported on the residential portion of the building, following a previously documented incident in the same month that was resolved. The area around the property has faced multiple sanitation challenges, with several instances of garbage and debris reports between late 2023 and early 2024, including both loose garbage and bagged waste, although these cases were ultimately resolved by city services. Parking enforcement was called to address a driveway blockage in February 2024, resulting in a citation.

The property has also experienced recurring encampment-related issues, with multiple reports between July 2023 and December 2024, though these cases were typically closed as "Unable to Locate." Community services have responded to various street cleaning needs around the property, with some cases requiring referral to law enforcement for enforcement purposes. While the building's underlying structure remains intact with a street space permit issued in 2009, the recent pattern of graffiti, garbage accumulation, and encampments in the vicinity suggests ongoing challenges with neighborhood maintenance and security, though many reported issues have been addressed by relevant city departments.

Risk rating

How 1825-1829 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
51stpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 422 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
