Rent & eviction protection

Is 195 Lexington 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 1915
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

Located at 195 Lexington Street in the Inner Mission neighborhood, this 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building was built in 1915 and is currently owned by Susan Baldini. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced various safety compliance issues over the years. Most notably, the property completed a seismic upgrade in 2018 to comply with San Francisco's Mandatory Soft Story Program, with the work receiving final signoff and Certificate of Final Completion. Recent building improvements include fire safety corrections in October 2024 regarding fire extinguishers and alarm systems, which were abated within days of issuance.

The building has a documented history of safety concerns requiring attention, including multiple fire safety violations between 2016-2024 related to alarm systems and extinguishers, with most being promptly corrected. A concerning violation in 2022/2023 involved failure to complete mandatory soft story work, though this was resolved by February 2023. Previous building maintenance issues noted in the records include a 2011 incident involving improper lead paint removal, window repairs, plumbing issues, and mold problems, all of which were eventually addressed. The property has maintained its basic infrastructure, as evidenced by permitted work including re-roofing in 2012 and various street space permits. Recent 311 calls between late 2024 and early 2025 primarily relate to external matters such as sidewalk cleaning and tree maintenance, suggesting that while historical internal building issues have been addressed, there continue to be regular maintenance and environmental matters on the property's periphery.

Risk rating

How 195 Lexington 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
14thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2047 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Number of units

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