Rent & eviction protection

Is 878-882 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 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 three-story multi-family residential building at 878-882 Haight Street, owned by Hazard Family Trust, was constructed in 1904 and contains three units. The property has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work being front stairs repairs in August 2023 due to dry rot and deterioration, costing $25,000. In 2018, a substantial structural upgrade was completed, including the replacement of the brick foundation with reinforced concrete and the installation of new shearwalls. Other notable improvements include a 2017 bathroom addition, facade replacement to address water intrusion, and comprehensive electrical panel upgrades in 2013-2014. The building experienced serious issues in 2003-2005, with violations related to dry rot damage in the rear structure, stairs, and deck, though these were resolved by July 2005. Historical electrical work includes kitchen and bathroom rewiring and panel upgrades, though some permits from the early 2000s are now expired.

Recent maintenance has focused on addressing exterior issues, with multiple instances of routine upkeep and repairs documented through building permits and planning records. The property has experienced some minor fire-related incidents, including a contained trash fire and an alarm malfunction, neither resulting in civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls (2024) have primarily concerned graffiti and debris on or near the property, though these are external municipal maintenance issues. The building's documented history shows ongoing maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, suggesting active management of property conditions and regulatory compliance.

Risk rating

How 878-882 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
64thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 370 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
