Rent & eviction protection

Is 1931-1933 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 1924
2 or more units

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 1924
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-unit residential building at 1931-1933 Lincoln Way in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1924, currently owned by Jerry Jing Hung Wang and C Yu. The property has undergone several significant renovations, with the most recent comprehensive update occurring in early 2021, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, new electrical wiring, and the removal of a top-floor fireplace, totaling approximately $20,000. This renovation was accompanied by updates to kitchen cabinetry, countertops, and bathroom fixtures, and was duly permitted through plumbing and electrical permits. The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure, with a completed reroofing project in 1991 and an expired permit from 2005 for a new 150-amp underground service installation.

In the past three years, the property has experienced some quality-of-life issues, most notably a cluster of ten parking-related incidents in late 2020, where vehicles were repeatedly reported for blocking the driveway, resulting in several citations. More recently, there was a graffiti incident reported in July 2023, though this was not considered offensive and was marked as resolved after a delayed response. While the building's major systems and structures appear to be maintained appropriately through the documented permits, the recent driveway access issues and graffiti incident represent the only notable concerns from a resident experience perspective.

Risk rating

How 1931-1933 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
60thpercentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 326 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

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.
