Rent & eviction protection

Is 391-393 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 1900

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 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 391-393 Haight Street is a two-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, owned by Pramod Srinivas and constructed in 1900. The building underwent significant renovations between 2018-2022, including the addition of three dwelling units (ADUs) with new kitchens and bathrooms, voluntary seismic strengthening with new concrete footings and shear walls, and comprehensive fire safety improvements. The fire safety upgrades included the installation of a sprinkler system throughout the building (completed in 2020 at a cost of $80,508), a new fire alarm system (2021, $31,012), and related electrical work (2021-2022). The building's infrastructure was also upgraded with a 400-amp electrical service installation (2022) and comprehensive plumbing improvements, including replacement of five water heaters and bathroom/kitchen installations (2021). A house trap replacement was completed in February 2023.

The property has had limited complaints or issues during this period, with only one notable building complaint filed in October 2020 regarding a hole cut into the floor of an occupied unit over the garage during construction work, though this was marked as "Not Active." Three routine housing inspections (2002, 2008, and 2020) were conducted, with no significant findings reported. The building has experienced recurring issues with street cleaning matters immediately outside the property, including instances of human or animal waste and toter placement, though these are municipal sanitation issues rather than building-specific concerns. The most recent building-related permits and improvements demonstrate ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts, particularly focusing on safety systems and infrastructure upgrades.

Risk rating

How 391-393 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
37thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 647 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
