Rent & eviction protection

Is 758 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

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.

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 two-story, two-unit residential building at 758 Lyon St, owned by Silmon Cleveland Jr & Gladys, was built in 1900 and has experienced significant challenges in recent years. Notably, in 2022, the property faced multiple urgent issues including reports of being abandoned, infested with insects and rodents, and experiencing structural problems. These conditions prompted Code Enforcement inspections and generated numerous complaints about hoarding, dilapidated interiors, and squatters, with violations related to egress obstructions, damaged windows, sanitation facilities, and excessive storage all recorded in September-October 2016. While many of these violations were abated by November 2016, there were subsequent repair permits issued in 2017 for various interior and structural issues, including wall repairs, stair repairs, and window replacements.

Most recently, in March 2024, there was a complaint suggesting that construction work at the property was exceeding the scope of an issued permit, with concerns about structural problems across all floors. Before this, the building underwent significant permitted renovations in late 2023 valued at $368,000, which included remodeling bathrooms and kitchens, adding new bathrooms, and repairing sheetrock and rear stairs. The property is currently in the planning stages for a potentially substantial renovation that proposes the addition of a garage, expansion of the second-floor unit, and conversion of the attic into a fourth floor, though this application is still under review as of October 2023. The building's recent history shows a pattern of significant maintenance and regulatory challenges, particularly between 2016-2022, followed by more substantial renovation efforts in 2023-2024.

Risk rating

How 758 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.
