Rent & eviction protection

Is 89-91 Rico Way 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 1940

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 1940
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 89-91 Rico Way in the Marina district, owned by the Haugen Revocable Trust, is a two-story structure built in 1940. The property has undergone significant recent improvements to maintain safety and modernize facilities. In 2019, the required second means of egress was upgraded from wood winder stairs to steel spiral stairs at a cost of $25,000, while in 2018, $25,000 was spent replacing wood siding, windows, and doors at the rear of the building. Major renovations were completed in late 2013, including the addition of a power room, bathroom renovations, garage expansion, and comprehensive updates to electrical and plumbing systems, totaling approximately $41,000.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety compliance issues, with violations documented in 2016 (including problems with sprinklers, alarm systems, and extinguishers), and more recently in 2024 involving sprinkler/standpipe systems. Historical permits show attention to structural safety, such as bolting down existing elements and improving fire safety systems. The property has faced multiple parking enforcement issues in 2024-2025, with several citations issued for driveway blocking. Additionally, there was one tenant buyout recorded in September 2021 for $10,000 involving one tenant.

Risk rating

How 89-91 Rico Way'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
95thpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 49 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
