Rent & eviction protection

Is 2580-2582 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 before 1979
Built 1922
2 or more units

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 1922
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 two-unit residential building at 2580 Clay Street in Pacific Heights, owned by William Bobo and constructed in 1922, is currently undergoing extensive renovations as evidenced by multiple active permits throughout 2024. The property is undergoing significant updates including kitchen and bathroom renovations ($112,000), rear deck reconstruction ($25,000), and bathroom modifications ($30,000) as part of a comprehensive modernization project. Infrastructure improvements are substantial, with work being performed on the electrical system including rewiring of both units (replacing old knob and tube wiring), installation of new 400-amp service with separate meters for each unit, and new load centers. The building is also receiving new heating and cooling systems, with two new Mitsubishi heat pumps being installed ($30,000), along with associated ductwork, electrical, and plumbing work (including new shower pans and bathroom fixtures).

The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2015 housing inspection complaint regarding peeling paint and possible lead exposure, though this issue is now inactive. Historical records show various street space permits have been issued between 2007-2015, and there were some minor fire alarm system activations recorded without any injuries. Recent maintenance patterns suggest ongoing investment in the property's infrastructure, with major focus on updating both the living spaces and essential systems. The building's renovation work appears to be comprehensive, addressing both aesthetic and functional aspects of the property, while the electrical upgrades are particularly noteworthy given the age of the original wiring system. The property has experienced various parking-related issues in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple parking violation reports throughout 2024, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2580-2582 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
76thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 231 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
