Question
Who do I contact when my SF Landlord is entering without calling and not following through with safety issues?
Two months ago we had some punks get into a fight right outside our floor level appartment (our bedroom windows are next to the side-walk ...our parents were visiting and were sleeping in our bedroom) they told us it sounded like a number of people fighting and maybe was adrug deal, etc...needless to say it left them shaken. We went out an discovered blood on the front of our appartment and made sure to show our landlord and explained this not the first time loud and scary behavior has happened outside our San Francisco apt that is placed on a shady street with very low lighting in the Mission District. We asked them to put in a sensor light and they said they would...two months later when one of the brothers (family duo-ownership) that own the place show our place to potential buyers, without calling us first, we remind him that people are still carrying on outside on our dark side-walk...just last night there was another altercation and he replies that "they are on it.' I call the other brother right away, telling him that I will not allow his brother and guests in the next time if he does not call AND that it has been two months since we asked for a some sort of sensor light, he replied that "they are on it but it wasn't the first thing on his list of things to do... they are trying to sale the place; he also added that he was busy putting up Halloween Decorations and they think they have really taken care of us! " Meaning he doesn't care because it's not his family and he wont do it, he will leave it up to new owners. What do I do to keep my family safe?

I would put the lights myself and deduct the cost from the rent. You can speak to him about showing the apartment without your permission. If he continues to do it without giving you 24 hours notice then change the locks. As for the neighborhood, there is nothing that he can do about that and you should be looking for a new place to live.
