Rent & eviction protection

Is 1043-1045 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 1975
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

RH2
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1975
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 property at 1043-1045 Clayton Street, owned by Aebt Llc, was constructed in 1975 and features two stories in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant events in recent years, most notably experiencing a vacancy period in 2019 that triggered complaints and compliance requirements under the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance, which were resolved by May 15, 2019. During this same period, sheetrock repairs were completed in the laundry rooms of both units. There is a filed permit from December 2020 for the construction of a new 5-story multi-family dwelling unit valued at $1.5 million, though its current status is not explicitly indicated in the records.

The property has a history of maintenance and compliance issues, including multiple 311 calls between 2014 and 2021 related to street cleaning, abandoned vehicles, and blocked sidewalks due to overgrown vegetation. Various governmental responses documented resolving these issues, with one notable case from 2016-2017 requiring the property owner to address overgrown vegetation that was blocking the sidewalk. In late 2014, there were multiple complaints regarding the property's condition which prompted inspections by various city departments, though these were ultimately resolved with no further action required. As of 2024, there is a new preliminary application for a two-family dwelling on a vacant parcel at 1047 Clayton Street, which is currently on hold and seeks to preserve planning code provisions and standards through Government Code section 65941.1.

Risk rating

How 1043-1045 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
71stpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 153 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 size

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

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
