Rent & eviction protection

Is 901-905 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 three-story mixed-use building at 901-905 Haight Street, owned by Kaileh Ibrahim & Maha, has a complex history dating back to its 1900 construction date. The property, which contains three residential units above ground-floor retail space, underwent significant changes regarding wireless infrastructure in 2013-2015, when unpermitted installation of a cell site facility triggered a Planning Department violation that required several months of compliance work and ultimately the removal of equipment in 2015. Most recently, in 2023, the building completed accessibility improvements to comply with the ABE ordinance, including installing a power door operator and repairing the threshold. The building has experienced multiple fire alarm system activations (mostly unintentional or due to malfunction) and two documented water-related incidents, though no civilian injuries were reported in any of these events. The property has maintained its commercial use as a grocery store, holding a Type 21 ABC license for beer and wine sales.

The building's recent history has been characterized by exterior maintenance and compliance issues, with multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding graffiti on adjacent public spaces and street furniture. Planning records show various permit activities, including the legalization of advertising signs in 2008 and the removal of unauthorized posters. An April 2022 complaint was filed regarding illegal billboards near the bus stop, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. The property has had some notable exterior maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple graffiti complaints and general maintenance calls in 2025, though many of these issues are related to public infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 901-905 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
23rdpercentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 270 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
