Rent & eviction protection

Is 1436-1446 Waller 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 1906
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1906
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, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 1436-1446 Waller St in Haight Ashbury, owned by Aida Graybeal 2002 Lvg Tr and constructed in 1906, has undergone several significant safety improvements and renovations in recent years. Most notably, in 2022 the building had a mandatory fire alarm system replacement costing over $22,000 to comply with fire safety regulations, including the installation of horns in sleeping areas throughout all apartments and ADU. The building achieved 400-amp electrical service upgrades in 2021-2022, and underwent sewer replacement work in 2022. A fire sprinkler violation was issued and subsequently abated in September 2020. The property completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit requirements in February 2021, achieving Tier 3 compliance.

The building's renovation history includes the conversion of basement storage space to an ADU, completed under the name Aida Graybeal 2002 Lvg Tr, and various unit improvements including bathroom remodels and kitchen upgrades. Multiple plumbing improvements were made between 2008 and 2022, including the installation of new fixtures and systems in various units. The building has had periodic routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with most violations being promptly addressed. Recent 311 calls from 2022 to 2024 have primarily concerned street-level maintenance issues such as sidewalk cleaning and waste removal, rather than building-specific problems. A tenant buyout was recorded for unit 1438 in December 2020, with one tenant receiving $20,000.

Risk rating

How 1436-1446 Waller 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 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 447 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building size

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building permits (past 7 years)
