San Francisco Landlord Tech Report
By the Anti-Eviction Lab and Anti-Eviction Mapping Project
This report examines the increasing deployment of landlord technologies in San Francisco (SF) housing and the problems this creates and intensifies. These technologies include tenant screening, facial recognition, closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, and other algorithmic, biometric, and app-based building access technologies specifically designed to be deployed in tenant housing and surrounding public and private space. As researchers with the Anti-Eviction Lab and the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project, we map the genealogies and geographies of these surveillance systems, looking at intersections of surveillance, carcerality, and gentrification.
