Rent & eviction protection

Is 2133-2135 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 1924

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 1924
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 property at 2133-2135 Lombard Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently managed by the Barbara Seifer Family Trust. The building has undergone significant recent renovations, most notably the change of use from office to bar in late 2023, which involved connecting with the adjacent property at 2125 Lombard and included comprehensive mechanical, fire, electrical, and plumbing work. The conversion project, valued at $142,000, is part of a larger redevelopment scope that includes structural improvements and new systems installation, with associated electrical work for lighting, power outlets, and equipment installation completed in early 2024. The property has maintained active compliance with city regulations throughout its history, with recent permits showing ongoing improvements including MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) systems installation and Title 24 compliance in 2024.

The building's recent incident history includes a sewage discharge issue in December 2024 and reports of graffiti in late 2023, though most 311 calls have been resolved promptly. The property has remained primarily commercial focus since 1982, with historical records showing various improvements including a second-floor sundeck extension completed in 1986. Current permits indicate ongoing investment in building systems and compliance with modern standards, with most recent permits focusing on mechanical and electrical system upgrades. The Planning Department has approved the property for its current bar use with nighttime entertainment, recognizing its compliance with local zoning and use requirements.

Risk rating

How 2133-2135 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
97thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 26 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.
