Rent & eviction protection

Is 1 Haight St rent-controlled?

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 2020
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Likely exempt from AB 1482. Housing with a certificate of occupancy issued within the previous 15 years is exempt from the state rent cap and just-cause rules.

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 1 Haight Street is a two-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1890, currently owned by 1 Haight Street LLC. The building is part of a larger mixed-use project that includes an 8-story structure with 42 residential units and ground-floor commercial space at 1700 Market Street. Recent construction activity from 2023-2024 has focused on significant building improvements, including ADA upgrades, fire safety system installations, and tenant improvements. Notably, there have been multiple fire safety violations in recent years, including blocked exits (2023-24), fire code violations (2024), and issues with sprinkler/standpipe systems (2024), though some have been marked as corrected or referred to other agencies. The building has experienced recurring issues with its fire alarm system, evidenced by numerous false alarms and detector activations. Recent permits show ongoing work related to bathroom additions, fire system upgrades, and electrical work, with the most recent permit issued in February 2024 for electrical modifications.

The property's history includes substantial redevelopment activity as part of a larger project replacing an existing two-story commercial building with the current mixed-use structure. Planning records indicate the building was constructed as part of a larger development project featuring a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, with no off-street parking provided. The building has been the subject of multiple fire safety inspections and violations, particularly related to alarm systems, sprinklers, and exit maintenance, with the most recent violations noted in December 2024 relating to ERRCS permits and May 2024 for sleeping area requirements. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 indicate ongoing issues with garbage and debris around the property, including reports of human waste and an encampment, though many of these issues have been resolved through city services.

Risk rating

How 1 Haight 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
2ndpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 1006 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
