Rent & eviction protection

Is 1408-1410 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

The property at 1408-1410 Lyon Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights. Built in 1900, this flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant modifications and repairs over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2015, issues with the rear stairs were addressed through repairs costing $10,000, following earlier complaints about damaged stairs and missing handrails from 2014-2016. The building has a documented history of illegal unit concerns, particularly regarding basement modifications, with multiple inspections and violations recorded between 2006-2011. These violations noted several life safety issues including inadequate heating, unapproved wiring and plumbing, insufficient fire resistance materials, missing smoke detectors, inadequate emergency egress, poor natural light and ventilation, and below-minimum ceiling heights in one habitable room. The basement area was subsequently legalized for storage use with bathroom facilities in 2007, transitioning from its earlier unauthorized configuration.

The building has undergone several major maintenance works, including three separate roofing projects between 2013-2014, and stair repairs in the rear of the building in 2015. A routine inspection in 2003 revealed various fire safety and building code concerns that were later addressed, including the installation of required fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and handrails. More recent concerns include a 2024 public health investigation request, though details of the issue are not specified in the records. While most historic violations and complaints have been resolved, the building's history shows a pattern of stair-related safety issues and unauthorized modifications requiring subsequent legalization, particularly in the basement area.

Risk rating

How 1408-1410 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
82ndpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 121 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
