Rent & eviction protection

Is 1787-1793 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 1904

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 1904
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 1787-1793 Haight Street, owned by Aida Graybeal 2002 Living Trust, was constructed in 1904 and contains three units plus commercial space. The building has undergone numerous improvements and faced several compliance issues over the past two decades. Recent developments include awning modifications completed in October 2023 to address a code violation from January 2023, and planned electrical upgrades to replace an automatic door opener as of September 2023. Between 2018 and 2020, significant interior renovations were performed, including a comprehensive bathroom remodel, kitchen updates, and electrical rewiring. The building has faced multiple compliance challenges, particularly regarding unpermitted work, including a 2013 incident involving unauthorized rear additions and various plumbing issues. Historical fire safety violations from 2005-2011 indicated problems with construction permits, storage practices, and other safety concerns, though records show these were subsequently addressed. Recent maintenance has focused on resolving graffiti issues in the vicinity, with multiple incidents reported in 2023-2024, though these are primarily external to the building itself. The property has consistently undergone regular maintenance and updates, with the most recent phase focusing on compliance with various city programs and safety upgrades.

Risk rating

How 1787-1793 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
78thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 128 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
