Rent & eviction protection

Is 2566-2572 Clay 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 1925

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.

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 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2566-2572 Clay Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Rodney & Gertrude Medeiros, has a structural history dating back to its 1925 construction. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, with the most recent notable work being the replacement of two non-street visible doors in 2021 with energy-efficient fibrex doors (cost: $12,939). In 2013, the property received attention for various maintenance needs, including dry rot repairs to the garage entrance wall and stucco ($2,500), re-roofing work ($6,000), and two street space permits. Earlier structural improvements include front stairs repairs due to dry rot in 2001 ($12,000), kitchen remodeling in 1998, and foundation reinforcement work in 1994 involving the installation of additional posts and anchor bolts.

The building has been subject to routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1996, 2002, and 2013, with all cases becoming inactive without noted issues. While there have been two recorded system malfunctions related to the fire alarm system, neither incident resulted in civilian injuries. The most recent activity associated with the property was a parking enforcement call in July 2024, though the officer was unable to locate the reported vehicle. The consistent pattern of maintenance and improvements over the years, particularly addressing structural and safety aspects, suggests regular upkeep by the current ownership, though the building's age necessitates ongoing maintenance attention.

Risk rating

How 2566-2572 Clay 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
63rdpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 356 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
