Rent & eviction protection

Is 1633-1649 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 1906

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 multi-family residential building at 1633-1649 Haight Street, built in 1906, contains 8 units and has undergone numerous improvements over the past several years. Most notably, in 2023, major accessibility upgrades were completed, including the remodeling of two bathrooms to meet ADA standards, with associated electrical and plumbing work. The building has shown consistent investment in maintenance and upgrades, including window replacements in 2017, kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2015, and various accessibility improvements in 2019. Historical issues from the early 2000s, including heating and hot water problems, lead paint concerns, and interior damage, were resolved by December 2003. Recent building complaints (2020) regarding vacant storefronts and a 2015 incident involving water intrusion and exposed wiring in unit 1641 were addressed, though some work was reportedly performed without proper permits. The property has a Tier 4 soft-story retrofit status, indicating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The building's infrastructure has been maintained with various plumbing and electrical upgrades, including sewer replacement work (2009), kitchen remodels, and electrical improvements. There have been multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding street conditions outside the property, though these are exterior issues not directly related to the building's maintenance. Recent fire safety complaints in 2021 (blocked exits) and 2012 (overcrowding) were determined to have no merit. The property has a commercial component, with portions historically used for retail purposes, though there have been legal disputes regarding its proper use. Recent planning records show approved accessibility upgrades to the storefronts, demonstrating ongoing compliance with city regulations.

Risk rating

How 1633-1649 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 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 209 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
