Rent & eviction protection

Is 115 Haight 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 1908
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.

Built 1908
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 three-story, 17-unit apartment building at 115 Haight Street, owned by Andre Winiarski and built in 1908, has undergone numerous significant improvements and faced various challenges over the years. Most recently, there is an active complaint from July 2023 regarding common areas that remains unresolved. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 2) and is currently in the process of adding an ADU, with permits filed in October 2019. The property has seen substantial unit upgrades between 2009-2016, including comprehensive renovations of apartments 7, 11, 12, 14, and 17, focusing on kitchens, bathrooms, and systems upgrades.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its boiler system, with violations noted in 2021 for unpermitted operation that were eventually resolved by March 2022. Historical maintenance challenges included multiple instances of mold and water-related problems between 2005-2008, particularly affecting bathrooms and water supply systems. Fire safety systems have required attention, with three fire alarm-related complaints from 2006, 2018, and 2021, though all were corrected promptly. The property underwent significant infrastructure improvements, including plumbing system upgrades in 2015-2022, and electrical system enhancements with new panel installations and circuit upgrades. While there have been some maintenance issues documented through 311 calls regarding building cleanliness and graffiti (most recently in 2024), these are typical for a building of this age and size. The building's maintenance history demonstrates regular upkeep, with particular attention to seismic safety through the completed soft-story retrofit program.

Risk rating

How 115 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
15thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 873 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
