Rent & eviction protection

Is 1701-1707 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 1922
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 1922
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 1701-1707 Lincoln Way property is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, built in 1922 and currently owned by the Meyers Family Trust. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant events, with the most concerning occurring in January 2021, when emergency responders discovered severely dry-rotted rear stairs between the 2nd and 3rd floors, leading to building violations regarding exit maintenance and fire escape safety. These violations, along with issues with fire extinguishers, were all abated within the same day, though the stair problems prompted the building to undergo staircase repairs costing $7,500 in February 2021. Prior renovations include a 200-amp electrical service upgrade with five meters and panels completed in 2004, and historical maintenance work has addressed various structural issues, including dry rot removal from rear stairs in 1983 and a code compliance update in 1986.

The building's recent history (2024-2025) shows no major structural or safety violations, though there have been numerous reports of garbage and debris on or near the property, particularly between October 2024 and January 2025, with the majority of these complaints being resolved through appropriate channels. Two recent complaints from November 2024 specifically mentioned issues with loose garbage, yard waste, and even human waste/urine, though these appear to be street-level issues rather than directly related to the building's maintenance or management. Historical permits show a 1998 re-roofing project, though this permit is currently listed as expired. The most recent building activity record is from early 2025, indicating ongoing maintenance attention to street cleanliness and property upkeep.

Risk rating

How 1701-1707 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
