Rent & eviction protection

Is 781-783 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

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 two-unit residential building at 781-783 Clayton Street in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Joan Ann Parangan Sprt Prpt, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, with multiple permitted construction projects in 2023 and 2024 including window replacements, bathroom and kitchen remodels, bearing wall removal, fireplace removal, and electrical upgrades including new sub-panels and rewiring. These renovations collectively represent an investment of over $150,000. However, there is an active building complaint filed in August 2024 regarding safety concerns related to construction work, including blocked access, an unsafe ditch, and potentially dangerous wooden platforms - this issue appears to be currently unresolved.

The building's history includes several maintenance and safety issues over the years, though most are no longer active. A 2012 complaint regarding miscellaneous violations was resolved within a month, and while there was a 1995 complaint about an overflowing pipe in the trash area, this too was promptly addressed. The property has generated numerous 311 calls in recent years, primarily concerning parking violations and sidewalk cleaning issues, with several reports of illegal parking and sidewalk obstruction between 2020 and 2024. Two graffiti incidents were reported in 2021 and 2024, both of which were resolved through city maintenance services. While the building has undergone substantial renovations in recent years, the active complaint regarding construction-related safety issues and access problems suggests there are still ongoing concerns about the current work being performed on the property.

Risk rating

How 781-783 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
91stpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 52 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
