Rent & eviction protection

Is 2118-2120 Clement 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 1927

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.

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 16-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2118-2120 Clement Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Toy Real Estate Investment Co., was constructed in 1927 and has undergone numerous renovations and improvements over the years. Significant recent issues include an open fire violation from December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, a water intrusion and mold problem in November 2018 that was reported as being neglected by management, and multiple renovation projects in units 4, 6, 10, 11, and 14 between 2013 and 2019 with associated plumbing and electrical work. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, including several building violations from 2000-2001 related to fire safety, general sanitation, and interior surfaces, though these were eventually abated.

The property has undergone several major system upgrades, including a fire alarm system installation in 2010, electrical service upgrade to 400 amps in 2006, and reroofing in 2013. A childcare facility was added to the ground floor in 2010 under a change of use permit. Recent complaints indicate ongoing maintenance issues, including reports of unpermitted work in January 2021, though this complaint is now marked as not active. The building's exterior has experienced some urban issues typical of its location, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for street cleaning and garbage issues in 2023-2024, though these are not directly related to building management.

Risk rating

How 2118-2120 Clement 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
6thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2115 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
