Rent & eviction protection

Is 904 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.

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 904 Haight Street, located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, was constructed in 1890 and is currently owned by the Tarek K Leghari Bypass Trust. The building experienced a significant maintenance issue in late 2013 when multiple violations were recorded regarding interior and exterior paint conditions, with specific concerns about damaged walls and potential lead paint hazards. These violations, all filed on September 30, 2013, were formally abated by November 14, 2013, following required repairs and remediation work.

More recently, the property has faced ongoing challenges with street-level maintenance and cleanliness, particularly in late 2024 through early 2025. Between November 2024 and January 2025, there were multiple reports of garbage and debris on and around the property, as well as instances of graffiti affecting both the building and nearby public infrastructure. While many of these recent issues were resolved through city inspection and maintenance processes, some remain open as of the most recent reports, including a graffiti incident on the sidewalk in front of the property. Additionally, there was a sidewalk permit issued in 2008 for work on both 904 and 906 Haight Street, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the records.

Risk rating

How 904 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
62ndpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 221 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
