Rent & eviction protection

Is 219-223 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.

Built 1914

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 1914
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

This three-unit multi-family residential building, located at 219-223 Clayton Street in the Park North neighborhood, is a 3-story flats & duplex structure built in 1914 and currently owned by 219 Clayton St LLC. The property has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work in recent years, with particular attention to window upgrades and garage improvements. In 2021-2022, the building had multiple permit-required improvements including the installation of 23 new windows at the side and rear of the building ($16,000), replacement of front windows ($5,850), and a garage door replacement ($6,800) to comply with a notice of violation. The building underwent substantial kitchen and bathroom remodeling work in March 2020, though some related permits expired or were cancelled, including plumbing and electrical work for new lights and fixtures. A roofing project was successfully completed in March 2020 with a cost of $11,500.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to safety features, with previous violations from 2004-2005 related to fire escape maintenance, fire extinguisher requirements, and smoke detection, all of which were subsequently abated. The building has experienced some recent issues with parking enforcement, registration 10 blocked driveway complaints between 2022-2025, though these relate to street parking rather than building infrastructure. Historical records show multiple tenant buyouts in 2021, indicating unit turnover during that period, with amounts ranging from $40,000 to $190,000. Recent complaints have focused primarily on parking-related issues, though there was one notable complaint about a damaged property in November 2024 related to tree maintenance.

Risk rating

How 219-223 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
27thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 582 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
