Haight Ashbury, SF 94117 1253011 3 units · 4 fl · 1900

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 743-745 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 before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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
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 four-story multi-family residential building at 743-745 Clayton Street in Haight Ashbury, managed by the Jeanne Kwong Trust, dates back to 1900 and contains three units. The property has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past two decades, with the most recent major upgrades including a complete electrical rewiring of the second floor (including kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, dining and living rooms) and sub-panel upgrade currently in process (November 2024), as well as the installation of a heat pump system completed in October 2024. The building has a history of addressing structural and maintenance issues, including a roof replacement in 2016, removal of dry rot/termite damage in 2015, and various interior improvements including flooring and kitchen upgrades in 2017.

The building has experienced several building violations that have since been resolved, most notably in 2010 when multiple fire safety issues were identified, including the need for fire extinguishers, handrail repairs, and combustible storage removal, as well as a complaint about egress obstruction in 2002 that was addressed by 2004. There was a period of unpermitted structural work reported in 2015. Recent activities demonstrate ongoing property improvements and maintenance. The property has generated several 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to illegal parking and street cleaning issues, with some environmental health concerns reported in 2020. A smoke detector activation occurred at the address with no related fire incident or injuries. Notably, a tenant buyout was recorded for 741 Clayton Street in 2016 for $40,000 affecting three tenants, while no recent buyouts have been reported for 745 Clayton Street.

Risk rating

How 743-745 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
50thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 290 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
