Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 1677-1681 Haight Street, located in San Francisco's Haight Ashbury neighborhood, was constructed in 1906 and is currently owned by Victor and Farah Makras. The property has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most significant being a documented pattern of garbage management complaints in June 2024, where tenants reported that the owner refused to collect and properly dispose of garbage, resulting in accumulation that attracted vermin. These housing-related complaints, though marked as "Not active," indicate an ongoing tenant dispute regarding waste management services included in the leases for units 1677-1679. The building underwent a soft-story retrofit in 2020 to comply with seismic safety requirements, replacing ordinary braced frames with plywood shear walls, representing the only building permit activity in the past seven years, with a construction cost of $10,000.

Rent & eviction protection

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.

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.

Risk rating

How 1677-1681 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
26thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 430 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location
