Rent & eviction protection

Is 1524-1528 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.

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 1524-1528 Haight Street is a mixed-use building developed in 1900, containing 3 residential units and commercial space, currently owned by the Rasmi & Bahjeh Ziedan Revocable Trust. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, including the installation of a dog grooming business in 2022-2023, with associated plumbing and electrical work, and a major electrical service upgrade in 2016 that included installation of 400A service, commercial and residential meters, and new subpanels. Historical maintenance records show regular upkeep including a complete reroofing project in 2018 valued at $24,000, and accessibility improvements in 2007 with the installation of an automatic door opener and accessible stairs.

The building's history includes multiple code violations and complaints between 2003-2019, primarily related to fire safety, security, and unauthorized commercial use of residential space. Notable issues included illegal unit concerns, a safety incident involving roofing debris in 2018, and unauthorized modifications to the rear garden area. All historical violations have been marked as abated, with the building undergoing regular inspections and permitting processes for ongoing improvements. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to sidewalk blockage and debris issues, with one building inspection request currently marked as open. The property's fire alarm system has experienced several activations, though all incidents have been determined to be unintentional, with no civilian injuries reported. While there have been some accessibility and safety concerns in the past, recent improvements suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance with current building codes.

Risk rating

How 1524-1528 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
16thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 488 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
