Rent & eviction protection

Is 461-463 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 1900
2 or more units

Property type

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.

15+ years since occupancy
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 461-463 Haight Street is a one-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Linda Q Martinez. Historical permit records from the 1990s show several significant renovations and improvements, including a kitchen remodel, bathroom accessibility upgrades, and a horizontal addition with a rear deck, though many of these permits ultimately expired. One notable completed improvement was the installation of a fire sprinkler system in 1987. In recent years, the property has faced challenges with vacant commercial space, with complaints filed in both 2019 and 2023 regarding the vacant storefront. The most recent complaint was resolved in May 2023, while a related violation from 2019 was abated in February 2020.

The building's recent history (2024-2025) shows ongoing maintenance and safety concerns in the immediate vicinity, with multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris, encampments, and graffiti in the surrounding area. While these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's condition, they may impact the overall environment. Two noise complaints in 2024 were found to be compliant with permit conditions. The property has maintained its safety record since the 2006 fire complaint regarding combustible materials, which was resolved within two months with conditions corrected.

Risk rating

How 461-463 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
25thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 770 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
