Rent & eviction protection

Is 2151-2153 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 1940
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1940
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-story multi-family residential building at 2151-2153 Lombard Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Ok Investments Inc, was constructed in 1940 and contains three residential units plus ground-floor commercial space. The property has undergone significant modifications and improvements over the past two decades, with major renovations in 2015 converting the ground floor from office to restaurant use, followed by various fire safety upgrades, including a complete sprinkler system installation in 2021 and recent fire alarm system maintenance in 2024. Several substantial residential unit improvements have been completed, including bathroom renovations in Units A and D, structural work for stairway support, and kitchen fire suppression system installation.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to fire safety, with a recent violation in April 2024 for alarm system maintenance and fire extinguisher service, though this was subsequently abated. Historical issues from 2003-2008 included egress obstructions and security viewer requirements, all of which were resolved. The property has experienced two non-emergency smoke detector activations with no injuries reported. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street cleaning issues outside the building, with some recent graffiti incidents in 2023. The most recent permits and inspections indicate ongoing attention to building systems, particularly fire safety equipment, though the 2024 violation suggests there may be occasional lapses in system maintenance schedules. The building's conversion to a mixed-use property with commercial space has been generally successful, with appropriate permits obtained for various modifications including kitchen equipment updates, ADA improvements, and structural revisions.

Risk rating

How 2151-2153 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
62ndpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 327 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
