Rent & eviction protection

Is 25 Baker 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
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH3
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 two-story multi-family residential building at 25 Baker Street, owned by Ramin Alizadeh & Lily Enaya, is a 4-unit structure built in 1900 in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant renovations, most notably a substantial $90,000 ground floor and basement renovation in 2007 that included converting an unoccupied basement into habitable rooms, though this work raised multiple concerns about expired permits and foundation issues with the neighboring property at 23 Baker Street. The building features modern improvements including a 6.3kW solar panel system installed in 2007-2008, though there were subsequent permit expiration issues that required follow-up inspections through 2014.

The building has experienced several safety and compliance challenges over its history, with particular attention needed during a 2016 routine safety inspection that revealed multiple fire safety concerns including the need for fire extinguishers, handrails, and carbon monoxide alarms. Earlier violations from 2000 also highlighted fire safety issues, though these were eventually abated. Recent maintenance and safety improvements have been documented, including the installation of gas fireplaces and various plumbing and electrical upgrades, though some permits required renewal and re-inspection to achieve final approval. The property has had three documented gas-related incidents (two gas leaks and one CO detector activation) with no civilian injuries reported, suggesting ongoing monitoring of gas systems is required.

Risk rating

How 25 Baker 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
67thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 192 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
