Inner Mission, SF 94110 3609056 2 units · 2 fl · 1900

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 356 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 1900

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1900
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 356 Lexington Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Ohazama Waldman 2010 Lvg Tr, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, located within the Liberty Hill Historic District. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major updates including the installation of a ducted split heating system with associated electrical work in 2021, and multiple street space permits issued between 2013-2016. Noteworthy renovations from 2014-2015 included substantial exterior work, such as repairing siding without vapor barrier issues, installing a 9-foot curb wall, and alterations to doors and windows, along with interior improvements like ceiling lighting work completed in 2013.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, with plumbing upgrades including gas line and drain line modifications in 2014, and various electrical improvements such as a service upgrade for a Tesla charger in 2013. While there were some building complaints recorded in 2015 regarding plumbing work and property boundaries, these issues appear to have been addressed promptly. The property has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by 311 calls primarily related to street cleaning and maintenance between 2021-2023, though these incidents were resolved through normal municipal processes. Recent filings and permits suggest ongoing maintenance and improvement of the building's systems and exterior, with particular attention to preserving its historical character within the Liberty Hill district.

Risk rating

How 356 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
40thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1428 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
