Rent & eviction protection

Is 832-834 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 before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units

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-unit residential building at 832-834 Haight Street, owned by Bruce J. Wood, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects over the past years. Most recently, in March 2024, the property received electrical system improvements with the replacement of five Zinsco sub panels, addressing safety concerns associated with outdated electrical infrastructure. Prior to this, major structural work was completed in 2013, including the replacement of dry rot window trims, painting of the front facade, and repairs to the rear stairway deck. The building has also received attention to its foundational elements, with the reinforcement of the second-floor center beam in the garage completed in 2012, and multiple improvements to the rear stairs including post replacements and footings between 2009 and 2009.

Historical maintenance records show consistent upkeep of critical building systems, including a complete reroofing in 2009 and sewer repairs in 2007. The property has experienced some exterior maintenance issues, with multiple instances of graffiti reported between 2023 and 2024, though these were addressed by city services. The area around the building has seen recurring parking enforcement issues, with ten parking-related complaints recorded between 2022 and 2024, primarily involving blocked driveways and sidewalk parking, though many of these incidents could not be validated by responding officers. The building's maintenance history suggests regular attention to structural and safety systems, with particular emphasis on addressing wood rot and electrical upgrades over the years.

Risk rating

How 832-834 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
82ndpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 185 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.
