Rent & eviction protection

Is 941-945 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 1900

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 property at 941-945 Haight Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building containing three units, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Kristen Ann Cordle. The building's most significant recent activity centers around voluntary seismic strengthening efforts, with a new permit filed in July 2024 for foundation work valued at $40,000, following a previous attempt in 2021 that was withdrawn. Earlier improvements include completed reroofing work in February 2021 costing $50,000. The building underwent routine inspections in 2002 and 2009, with the 2002 inspection resulting in several violations related to fire safety, security, and utility shutoff tools, all of which were resolved by January 2003.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external maintenance and enforcement matters. There have been multiple graffiti incidents reported in 2023-2024 (with the most recent in April 2024 still open as of this report), as well as several parking-related enforcement actions on the sidewalk in 2023-2024. General cleaning issues regarding loose garbage on the property have been reported in early 2023, though these were noted as being the owner's responsibility. The building's systems received attention in 2006 with the installation of a garage door opener system, though this permit has since expired. While the property has maintained compliance with various housing codes since 2003, the persistent nature of recent graffiti and sidewalk maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with exterior upkeep in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 941-945 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
66thpercentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 119 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.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

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

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.
