Rent & eviction protection

Is 1768-1772 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

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1768-1772 Haight Street is a mixed-use building constructed in 1900, consisting of two residential units and commercial space in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. In recent months (2024), significant changes include the conversion of the former restaurant space to a social service facility (now occupied by Homeless Youth Alliance), with associated tenant improvements underway, and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades including sink relocations, bathroom remodels, and lighting improvements. The building has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including window repairs, bathroom renovations, and exterior stair replacements.

The property has experienced some compliance issues, notably with the vacant commercial storefront ordinance in early 2023, which was eventually abated in April 2023. Previous violations include a cracked glass pane complaint in 2011 that was also resolved. The building has seen regular maintenance work and upgrades, with multiple permits issued for various improvements including accessible entry requirements, though some older permits from 2019 related to accessibility compliance were cancelled. Recent municipal service calls have primarily involved maintenance of exterior areas, including graffiti removal and debris cleanup, which are typical for urban properties. The building's history includes the significant event of the Straight Theater demolition, though this was unrelated to the current structure. The property is currently under active renovation/upgrade work as evidenced by the multiple permits issued in 2024, indicating ongoing investment in the building's maintenance and improvements.

Risk rating

How 1768-1772 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
77thpercentile
