Rent & eviction protection

Is 341-343 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 1900
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 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 341-343 Lexington Street, a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, consists of four units and is currently owned by Peter Dana Porras. Recent significant improvements include substantial electrical upgrades in early 2024, with new wiring, removal of knob and tube systems, and installation of new sub-panels throughout all units. Plumbing infrastructure has been significantly updated, with permits issued in March 2024 for extensive work including kitchen and laundry facilities, and the removal of inactive water supply lines. The building has undergone several important structural and safety improvements in recent years, including insulation work in early 2024, voluntary structural strengthening in 2022, and a complete roof replacement in 2014.

The building's history reveals some concerning patterns of maintenance issues and code violations, particularly in the early 2000s. A cluster of violations was documented in late 2003, including problems with stairs, handrails, fire safety systems, and plumbing, though these were all abated by May 2004. More recent complaints in 2014 and 2023 regarding unpermitted work and code compliance issues were also resolved. Of particular note are two complaints from 2015 concerning missing smoke alarms and various unit maintenance issues, which were addressed and closed. The property has maintained regular maintenance patterns in recent years, with multiple substantial improvements made to address older building systems. While some 311 calls regarding the property have been logged, mostly relating to street cleaning and maintenance matters, these do not appear to reflect significant building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 341-343 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
38thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1476 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
