Rent & eviction protection

Is 346-348 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 1880

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 1880
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 346-348 Lexington Street is a 2-unit, 2-story residential building constructed in 1880 in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, currently owned by Michael L Almond. The building has experienced multiple compliance issues over recent years, with six documented Department of Building Inspection (DBI) complaints since 2021, the most recent in March 2023, alleging unauthorized ongoing construction work. A pattern of unpermitted renovations is evident, particularly in 2021 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unauthorized kitchen and bathroom remodels in both units, along with unpermitted heater replacement, sheetrock work, and exterior painting without proper containment concerns regarding lead. While six building permits have been issued in the past seven years, totaling $33,802 in construction costs, some permits suggest proper completion of work requiring final inspections, including window and door replacements in 2022 and a deck expansion in 2025.

The property has generated an unusually high number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling 53, with a notable cluster of garbage and debris complaints throughout 2026. Between February and July 2026 alone, there were six separate reports of various types of debris, though most were resolved without requiring further action. A single fire incident was recorded in July 2021, involving exterior rubbish, trash, or waste, with no reported civilian injuries or fatalities. The building's records indicate ongoing compliance issues with building codes and permit requirements, particularly during 2021-2023, and suggest that while some permitted improvements have been completed, there remains a pattern of unauthorized modifications that has drawn multiple complaints to city authorities.

Risk rating

How 346-348 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
46thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1285 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
