Rent & eviction protection

Is 413-427 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 1906
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 1906
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 413-427 Haight Street property is a 3-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Ko-ri Inc. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance issues over the years. Most notably, a mandatory soft-story retrofit was completed in 2023, following previous incomplete attempts in 2018 and 2022. The building has also received substantial electrical upgrades, with a permit issued in December 2023 for replacing 12 subpanels. Recent kitchen cabinet replacements in 2022 were performed under proper permits and included corresponding plumbing and electrical work.

The property has a history of various building code violations and complaints, particularly regarding unauthorized conversions between commercial and residential uses. Several complaints between 2002 and 2016 documented concerns about unauthorized residential use of commercial spaces, though these violations are now inactive. In August 2023, the building received a violation related to sprinkler system service that has since been rescinded. The building's maintenance record shows attention to both fire safety and earthquake retrofitting requirements, with recent soft-story work achieving Tier 4 compliance. Current 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to street-level maintenance issues such as graffiti and debris removal, rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 413-427 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
11thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 914 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
