Rent & eviction protection

Is 3619-3621 Lincoln Way 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 1945
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1945
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 3619-3621 Lincoln Way is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1945 and currently owned by Hovivian Tyler, this flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. Most notably, in May 2022, major renovations were completed including the replacement of seven windows and three doors on the back wall, along with the installation of new James Hardie fiber cement lap siding, representing a substantial investment of $40,274 in building improvements. The property has also seen gas infrastructure upgrades with the installation of new gas supplies and direct vent gas inserts in 2021-2022.

Prior to these recent upgrades, there were several attempts to construct new rear decks and convert existing windows to sliding glass doors, with filed permits in 2017 and 2018, though the 2018 permit was withdrawn. The building's maintenance history shows attention to exterior improvements and safety, including a 2003 electrical upgrade for equipment installation related to an underground project. The property has experienced some neighborhood issues typical of the area, as evidenced by 311 calls, including reports of graffiti (most recently in March 2024), abandoned vehicles (most recently in October 2023), and waste receptacle management concerns (notably in July 2022). While some of these issues were resolved through city intervention, they reflect common urban residential challenges. The building's recent improvements and completed permits suggest active maintenance and upgrading of the property, though potential residents should be aware of ongoing neighborhood maintenance issues as evidenced by the 311 call history.

Risk rating

How 3619-3621 Lincoln Way'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
96thpercentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 25 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
