Rent & eviction protection

Is 3351 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 1972
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 1972
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 three-unit, three-story TIC building at 3351 Clay St in Presidio Heights, built in 1972 and currently owned by Evan Allen Driedger, has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past decades. Most recently, in September 2024, a master bathroom remodel was completed on the second floor, including updates to the shower, vanity, and electrical systems at a cost of $24,000. The building has seen major improvements in 2006, including exterior facade alterations, window and door replacements, and electrical upgrades, with work valued at $140,000. Earlier renovations in 2005-2006 involved substantial interior modifications including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, with electrical rewiring and new panel installations. The building experienced one violation related to security requirements in 2007 regarding self-closing doors, which was resolved by April 2008.

Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of parking-related issues, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks between 2022 and 2024, resulting in several citations being issued. The property has maintained compliance with building safety requirements, with no active violations since 2008. A routine housing inspection was conducted in 2000, and all identified issues were promptly addressed. The most recent infrastructure work, focused on improving both safety features and aesthetic elements of the property, indicates ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building systems.

Risk rating

How 3351 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
83rdpercentile

Out of 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 31 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
