Rent & eviction protection

Is 651 Clayton St rent-controlled?

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 1900
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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 655 Clayton Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Chad & Rchael Hinson Living Trust, is a multi-family residential building constructed in 1900. Recent maintenance on the property includes a significant reroofing project completed in July 2023, with a reported cost of $23,846. The building's recent history shows no major safety concerns or violations, though there have been recurring issues with parking enforcement in the vicinity. Between January and October 2023, there were multiple reports (seven in total) of vehicles blocking driveways or parking illegally, though in most cases officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. Other incidents in 2023 included two instances of graffiti (one considered offensive), loose garbage, and one case of human or animal waste on the street, all of which were resolved by the relevant city departments.

The building's permit and incident history suggests regular maintenance is being conducted, as evidenced by the recent roofing work, and while there have been some quality-of-life issues in the immediate area (primarily related to illegal parking and street cleanliness), these appear to be external to the building itself. All reported issues have been addressed and resolved by appropriate city agencies. The property maintains a typical urban residential profile with no recorded major safety incidents or building code violations in recent years.

Risk rating

How 651 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
92ndpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 46 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
