Rent & eviction protection

Is 805-809 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 1913

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 1913
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 805-809 Lyon Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1913, currently owned by Deborah Irene Mansfield. The building underwent significant improvements between 2012 and 2023, including the legalization of a third unit in 2012-2013 after addressing a violation of illegal occupancy, which involved installing a new fire sprinkler system and updating various utilities. Recent improvements include a comprehensive solar power system installation in late 2022 and early 2024 consisting of multiple solar panels, microinverters, and Tesla Powerwall equipment (totaling 17.1 kW DC size and associated electrical upgrades), demonstrating investment in sustainable energy infrastructure.

The building has received substantial maintenance and upgrades over the years, including a complete re-roofing in 2014, installation of vinyl siding in 2015, and various plumbing improvements including replacement of sewage lateral and installation of new water services. Several 311 calls related to the property were recorded between 2018 and 2025, primarily concerning external issues such as tree maintenance, graffiti, and parking violations, though none directly related to building safety or habitability concerns. The property's electrical and plumbing systems have been regularly updated to meet current codes, with the most recent permits indicating continued maintenance and improvements to both systems.

Risk rating

How 805-809 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.
