Rent & eviction protection

Is 1401 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 1900

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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

1401 Lyon Street is a 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, located in San Francisco's Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood. The property, owned by Kladpetch Sasinun, has undergone significant maintenance and improvements over the past few years, with major work including a voluntary foundation upgrade and structural strengthening in 2020 (completed at a cost of $48,000), the installation of an overhead automatic fire sprinkler system throughout the basement in late 2021, and various unit upgrades in 2022 including siding replacement, water heater installations, and kitchen appliance updates.

The building experienced several notable issues during 2019-2022, particularly concerns related to water damage and building maintenance. Multiple housing code violations were recorded in 2019, including water damage repairs, fire safety issues, and concerns about lead-based paint, though these were abated by November 2019. In 2021, there were complaints about dangerous excavation work, and in 2022, multiple complaints were filed regarding improper gas meter installations and roof leaks potentially causing mold. Recent improvements in 2024 include gas meter relocation work and plumbing system upgrades. The building has had several emergency services responses, primarily related to system malfunctions and detector activations, but without any reported civilian injuries. Regular maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, primarily concerning street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1401 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
4thpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 643 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
