Rent & eviction protection

Is 772-774 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

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 three-story, two-unit residential building at 772-774 Clayton Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by the Post/leff Family Trust, was built in 1900 and has undergone significant renovations and maintenance over the past decade. The most recent major work includes plumbing updates in 2024 for garage improvements and washing machine installation, along with electrical work for garage lighting. Substantial basement excavation projects were undertaken in 2020 and 2021, totaling over 100 cubic yards of soil removal and structural support improvements, though one permit revision encountered a work-related complaint in June 2020 regarding unauthorized construction. Earlier improvements include comprehensive bathroom, kitchen, and window renovations between 2012-2019, plus necessary repairs like chimney removal and siding replacement. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades to support modern amenities.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved construction-related matters, with several 311 calls regarding parking enforcement near the site in 2023-2024. While there was one noise complaint in 2022, this appears to be an isolated incident related to construction. The building has maintained good overall compliance with permit requirements, though there was one building complaint in 2020 regarding construction work that required investigation. The property features standard residential improvements, including a garage area that has received particular attention during recent renovations, and the infrastructure upgrades suggest ongoing efforts to maintain and modernize the historic building while preserving its original character.

Risk rating

How 772-774 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
95thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 29 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
