1875 Oak St

Haight Ashbury, SF 94117 1225030 6 units · 3 fl · 1926

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1875 Oak 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 1926

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.

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, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1875 Oak Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Valerie and Michael Hough, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1926. Most recently, in November 2023, the building received a new $19,500 roof, demonstrating ongoing maintenance commitment. Of particular note was the completed soft-story retrofit project in 2017-2019 (Tier 3), which incorporated steel frames, Hardy frames, plywood shearwalls, and reinforced concrete grade beams to enhance seismic safety, including the installation of Ufer grounding in new footings.

The building has a history of addressing safety concerns, having resolved multiple fire safety violations in 2002 related to fire escapes and self-closing doors, all of which were abated by January 2003. Previous improvements include a 2004 electrical upgrade to 200-amp service and conversion from overhead to underground service, as well as structural repairs documented in the 1985 permit. While there were some water damage issues in 1993 requiring ceiling and floor replacements, these were addressed at the time.

Risk rating

How 1875 Oak 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
46thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 314 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
