Rent & eviction protection

Is 915-917 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 915 Haight Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the LS Osprey Peak Revocable Trust with an active in-law unit complaint dating back to 1996. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements in recent years, with the most recent filed permit (November 2023) proposing substantial modifications including new shed roofs, rear deck installation, and attic conversion to habitable space. A major milestone was the successful completion of an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) installation in 2021, followed by various interior upgrades including kitchen remodels, structural improvements, and comprehensive fire sprinkler installations throughout the garage and 3rd floor unit.

The building's renovation history reveals several important safety and compliance updates, including emergency roof repairs in response to a 2020 violation complaint, installation of new fire safety features, and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades. The property has experienced some regulatory challenges, most notably the roofing project in October 2020 that exceeded permitted scope and led to a formal complaint, though this was subsequently addressed through emergency repairs and legalizations. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved exterior concerns such as graffiti removal and parking violations, as recorded in 311 calls. The building's infrastructure has received attention through multiple permits for electrical upgrades, including complete rewiring of various living spaces, while plumbing systems have been modernized with efficient water heater installations and new fixtures throughout.

Risk rating

How 915-917 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
90thpercentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 35 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
