Rent & eviction protection

Is 1811-1813 Lyon 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 1900
2 or more units

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 1900
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

This two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 1811-1813 Lyon Street in Pacific Heights was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by the Venezuela G Kennedy 2014 Trust. The property has undergone numerous significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges over the years. Most recently, in early 2024, major improvements are underway including the installation of new insulation in exterior walls, seismic reinforcing of garage walls, and the construction of new living spaces in the garage area, with associated costs of $300,000. This phase of work is also accompanied by the replacement of 30 windows throughout the building. In September 2024, new heating units and ductwork installations were permitted for both units.

The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly during 2017-2018 when multiple violations were recorded including problems with stairs, lead paint concerns, and various internal surface issues. These violations were officially abated by March 2018. A notable complaint regarding internal air quality and cleanliness issues in Unit #1 was filed in June 2020, though this was marked as not active. The property has seen regular maintenance activities including electrical upgrades in 2018, plumbing work, and various repairs to addresses structural and safety concerns, such as back stairs and porch repairs in 2018, roofing in 1989, and several drywall and dry rot repairs in the 1990s. Recent utility-related service calls have primarily involved parking issues near the property, with several citations issued between 2016-2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 1811-1813 Lyon 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
74thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 250 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
