Haight Ashbury, SF 94117 1227036 3 units · 3 fl · 1900

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 2021-2025 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 before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2021-2025 Oak Street in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Golden Properties LLC, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance activities over the years. Notable improvements include a comprehensive $32,000 renovation in 2001 that converted a bedroom into a bathroom and walk-in closet, remodeled an existing bathroom, and replaced kitchen cabinets and appliances. The building has also experienced several safety and compliance issues, particularly regarding fire safety, with multiple violations noted during routine inspections in 2003 and 2006, including problems with fire escape ladders, fire proofing materials, stair repairs, and the need for proper fire extinguisher installation. These violations were subsequently abated by November 2006.

More recent history shows a pattern of fire safety concerns, with multiple fire alarm system-related violations recorded in 2010, though these were marked as corrected. The building has experienced several fire-related incidents, including false alarms, smoke detector activations, and even a cooking fire and gas leak incident, all of which fortunately resulted in no civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 indicate ongoing neighborhood challenges, including reports of encampments and garbage/debris issues in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself. The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, including reroofing work in 2001 and electrical system upgrades in 2004 with an underground conversion of the existing 100-amp service.

Risk rating

How 2021-2025 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
31stpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 401 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

DBI complaints, owner's portfolio

Complaints across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age
