Rent & eviction protection

Is 458-464 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.

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 458-464 Lyon Street property, managed by Charge Partners LLC, is a 7-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 in Park North. The building has undergone significant improvements in recent years, most notably the addition of two accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in 2018, followed by substantial safety upgrades including a 2023 fire alarm system upgrade costing $26,400 to improve notification capabilities and compliance with fire codes. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent infrastructure improvements include the installation of fire sprinklers in the basement (2022), replacement of the rear staircase for egress compliance (2022), and various unit upgrades including multiple electrical rewiring projects, bathroom and kitchen remodels, and HVAC system upgrades.

The property has a history of addressing maintenance and safety concerns, with several significant issues documented between 2003-2015, including plumbing leaks, electrical violations, and fire safety concerns. However, all these historical violations have been resolved, with the most recent being a sprinkler system correction in September 2023. The building has experienced periodic maintenance issues typical of older properties, particularly during the 2003-2015 period when multiple complaints were filed regarding stair stability, deck repairs, and plumbing systems. The property has demonstrated ongoing investment in safety and modernizing systems, with recent work focusing on fire safety improvements, unit modernization, and infrastructure upgrades.

Risk rating

How 458-464 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
30thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 558 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

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
