Rent & eviction protection

Is 37-39 Clayton 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.

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.

Built 1925
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 property at 37-39 Clayton St is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Park North, owned by Joe & Judi Tsuyuki Revoc Tr and constructed in 1925. Recent significant improvements include a comprehensive renovation completed in 2022 of both units' kitchens and bathrooms, conversion of a nook into laundry facilities, and removal of non-load bearing partition walls, with associated plumbing and electrical upgrades for both units. The building underwent a service panel installation in July 2023, indicating continued infrastructure improvements. In terms of maintenance, a water heater replacement was completed in December 2022, and historical records show reroofing work was performed in 2015.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related incidents over the past few years. Most notably, in November 2022, there was a sewage backup issue that required attention from PUC Sewer Operations. There have also been multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents, particularly in late 2023 and early 2024, with several vehicles needing enforcement intervention. A graffiti incident was reported in November 2023, and there was a concerning report in 2022 regarding an allegedly illegal third dwelling unit on the property, which included unauthorized living spaces and plumbing facilities. This violation was recorded as "closed - abated," but it's worth noting as a significant historical concern. The building's maintenance record shows consistent upkeep of major systems, with recent improvements focusing on modernizing both units and addressing essential infrastructure needs.

Risk rating

How 37-39 Clayton 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
94thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 48 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
