Plus one for "unrehabbable", which is the way I'd probably have
spelled it on the basis of my usual double-the-consonant-for-stress
algorithm.  (I'd pronounce "(un)rehab(b)able" on the antepenult root,
although "rehab" itself gets primary stress.)  And of course both
residences and people can be (un)rehab(b)able, in slightly different
ways.
