700-702 Lisbon St

Excelsior, SF 94112 6349001 2 units · 2 fl · 1926

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 700-702 Lisbon 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 1926
2 or more units

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1926
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 700-702 Lisbon Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Serena L Y & David C H Li R, has a documented history dating back to 1984. The two-story structure, built in 1926, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decades, including multiple instances of wood damage and infestations. The most notable historical events include fire damage repairs in 1998 costing $18,500, termite damage repairs in 1993, and two instances of dry rot repair in 2004, one of which specifically addressed issues under a front window. The building underwent a conversion in 1984 to transform an unconfirmed ground floor store unit into residential space, and had window replacements in 2004.

In recent years, from October 2024 to January 2025, there has been a pattern of sidewalk parking violations and garbage-related issues in the vicinity of the property, with eight reports of abandoned garbage and debris and six reports of parking violations, some resulting in citations, though others couldn't be validated. These recent issues, primarily involving exterior maintenance and street-level concerns, appear to be more frequent than the building's historical interior maintenance challenges. Earlier fire complaints regarding weeds and grass in 2008 and 2012 were addressed promptly, with the 2012 issue being corrected on the same day of the complaint. There are no current open building permits or unresolved maintenance issues on record as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 700-702 Lisbon 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
51stpercentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 165 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
