Rent & eviction protection

Is 1215-1217 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 1947
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 1947
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

This two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building, located at 1215-1217 Clayton Street in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, has been under the ownership of Robert C. Kuzma since its construction in 1947. The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvements, with the most recent being a complete reroofing project in 2021 costing over $13,000, and a sewer line replacement in 2018. Earlier maintenance records indicate window replacements and glass repairs in 2004, and repairs to dryrot damage to rear stairs and landings in 1994.

The building's recent history (2022-2024) has been marked by multiple incidents of graffiti, with at least five documented cases in 2022 alone, though most were addressed and resolved through municipal services. There appears to be a recurring issue with parking enforcement in the area, with several 311 calls related to driveway blockage and sidewalk parking. While a 2013 fire complaint was recorded, it was promptly resolved on the same day. The property has maintained compliance with building codes through proper documentation of permits, though one of the 2004 window repair permits expired without indication of completion status. Two sign-related incidents occurred in 2023, one being a defacement case that was resolved, and another sign issue remains open as of December 2023. The building's essential systems appear to be regularly maintained, with major infrastructure updates being addressed when necessary.

Risk rating

How 1215-1217 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
89thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 58 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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