Rent & eviction protection

Is 1626-1636 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 1904

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 1904
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 8-unit residential building at 1626-1636 Haight Street, owned by Hoy & Velma Henderson LLC, has undergone substantial renovations and maintenance work since its construction in 1904. Recent improvements include terrazzo step repairs completed in September 2023, bathroom and kitchen remodeling in 2022, and significant electrical upgrades with a new 400-amp service installation in September 2022. The property has received consistent maintenance attention, with multiple window replacements (2018-2020), a complete reroofing in 2021, and various plumbing upgrades including a new heating system installation in 2022.

Of particular note is the history of complaints and violations from 2013, when several reports were filed regarding unauthorized construction of a skateboard park in the backyard, though these issues were subsequently resolved. The building has maintained compliance with safety regulations, as evidenced by the prompt resolution of security and fire safety violations in 2003, and there were no significant building violations recorded in recent years. The most recent building complaint from August 2023 regarding a vacant commercial space is still active. The property has also experienced some exterior maintenance challenges, with multiple reports of graffiti and sidewalk cleaning issues in 2024, though these are generally routine urban maintenance matters rather than building-specific problems. The building's overall record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with no pattern of serious violations or resident safety concerns in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1626-1636 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
74thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 151 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
