Rent & eviction protection

Is 2014-2018 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 before 1979
Built 1905

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

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 property at 2014-2018 Clement Street is a mixed-use building constructed in 1905, containing one residential unit above ground floor commercial space. The building has undergone numerous modifications and improvements over the past decade. Most recently, in 2024, the building completed work to comply with an awning amnesty program, though notable concerns include multiple sewage backup incidents recorded between late 2023 and 2024, affecting both interior and exterior areas. In 2020, there was a significant complaint about unauthorized construction work, alleging the addition of a third floor with extra dwelling units, which remains active. While several permits have been issued and completed, including the addition of a bathroom in 2020 and various commercial improvements, there have been recurring issues with unmet permit requirements and unauthorized modifications. The ground floor has transitioned through various uses, including retail and educational purposes, with the most recent iteration being "Welcome Home" cafe. The building's history also shows attempts to legalize previously unpermitted spaces, particularly regarding attic conversion and additional dwelling units, though some proposals have been withdrawn or disapproved. Recent infrastructure issues, including multiple sewage and flooding incidents, suggest ongoing challenges with the building's basic systems.

Risk rating

How 2014-2018 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
