Rent & eviction protection

Is 133-137 Lake 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 1908

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 1908
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 three-unit multi-family residential building at 133-137 Lake Street, constructed in 1908, has undergone several significant improvements in recent years under the ownership of Arlene Won Jeung Survivors Trust. Most notably, in 2022, the property received substantial upgrades including repairs to the second egress staircase, replacement of non-street-visible windows, and extensive plumbing work involving bathroom and kitchen remodels in multiple units, installation of tankless water heaters, and electrical rewiring on the second floor. A major renovation project in 2020 involved garage remodeling, dry rot repairs, and unit improvements valued at $250,000.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues that have been addressed over time. In 2016, there were violations related to lead paint hazards, weatherproofing, and interior surface maintenance, though these were abated by September 2016. A 2003 routine inspection revealed concerns about smoke detectors, emergency exits, stair repairs, and fire extinguisher maintenance, all of which were subsequently resolved. Recent maintenance has been generally proactive, with particular attention paid to safety features such as the rear egress staircase. The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges, including dry rot repairs and sewer line work in 2015, along with various exterior maintenance tasks. The most recent building-related issues have primarily concerned parking violations and sidewalk maintenance, with multiple reports of vehicles parking on sidewalks between 2022-2024, and tree-related concerns reported in 2024. The building's permit history demonstrates ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with all recent major improvements completed successfully.

Risk rating

How 133-137 Lake 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
90thpercentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 66 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
