Rent & eviction protection

Is 371 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 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 property at 371 Lexington Street is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Keith Slipper. The building has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with particularly concerning events occurring in 2023-2024. Most notably, there are active complaints about the building's currently abandoned state, with reports of open windows, animal infestation, and rodent problems filed in late 2024, following previous complaints in 2023 about sanitation issues, including sanitation concerns, broken sewer lines, and possible mold problems affecting both 371 Lexington Street and a neighboring property. The building has a documented history of plumbing problems, including multiple sewer-related complaints in 2020, unauthorized plumbing work in 2019, and a significant lead paint violation case in 2021 that resulted in multiple citations related to improper containment, clean-up, and notification procedures, though these violations were officially abated in 2022.

The property has undergone some permitted maintenance work, including a stair repair project initiated in 2008, though this permit has since expired. There have been two significant tenant buyouts associated with the address, one for $85,000 in July 2023 and another for $140,000 in December 2021, affecting a total of four tenants between the two transactions. The building's recent history shows persistent infrastructure and maintenance challenges, particularly related to plumbing and sanitation systems, with multiple violation cases and complaints filed over the years. The property has also undergone unpermitted renovation work in the past, including unauthorized kitchen and bathroom remodeling reported in 2018. The building's location and condition have generated multiple neighborhood service calls for various issues, including street cleaning, sign maintenance, and parking enforcement, though these are primarily related to the surrounding area rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 371 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
10thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2142 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
