Rent & eviction protection

Is 183-185 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1906
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 1906
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 183-185 Lexington Street in the Inner Mission is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Danny Exon. The building has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over the past two decades, including fire safety upgrades in 2004 involving sheetrock installation for fire separation between garage and living areas ($7,500), and multiple structural repairs in 2001-2002 addressing dry rot issues in porch decking ($6,000) and rear staircase repairs ($8,000). The building experienced a period of safety and maintenance concerns in late 2001 and 2003, with multiple violations related to fire safety, building security, and general maintenance, including issues with stairs, ceilings, and the need for proper fire extinguishers and gas meter safety equipment. These violations were all officially abated by January 2002.

More recent history shows ongoing maintenance and cleanliness issues in the surrounding area, with multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2025 regarding street cleaning, sidewalk conditions, and waste management, including several reports of human/animal waste and loose garbage that were typically resolved by city services. The most recent building-related concern is an open noise complaint from January 2025. Routine housing inspections were conducted in 2001 (noting ceiling and mailbox issues), 2003, and 2008, with all cases being marked as not active after necessary corrections were made. In terms of structural improvements, the building currently has records of sidewalk and street space permits issued in 2007, though these technically show zero cost.

Risk rating

How 183-185 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
61stpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 928 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.

Number of units

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

Neighborhood location

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