Rent & eviction protection

Is 747-749 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 1910

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 1910
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-story multi-family residential building at 747-749 Clayton Street, located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, is a two-unit structure built in 1910 classified as Flats & Duplex. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most critical recent work being the replacement of fire egress stairs in 2017 due to significant dry rot, indicating attention to safety features. Other major renovations include a comprehensive window replacement project in 2010 involving 32 new windows with improved energy efficiency ratings, a roof replacement in 2000, and a substantial kitchen and bathroom remodeling project in 2012 that included electrical upgrades and plumbing improvements such as the installation of new fixtures and appliances. The building has maintained regular upkeep of essential systems, as evidenced by the house trap replacement in 2015.

Recent 311 calls related to the property have primarily involved parking enforcement issues on the sidewalk (in 2024) and routine street cleaning matters, including multiple reports of loose garbage and holiday waste removal between 2018 and 2024. While these external maintenance issues have been addressed promptly by city services, they do not directly impact the building's habitability. The property has no recorded tenant buyouts or significant legal issues on file, and all major building permits show proper completion status. The recent (2023-2024) street cleaning and parking enforcement calls suggest ongoing attention to local maintenance and compliance issues, though these are more related to the neighborhood than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 747-749 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
72ndpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 163 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
