Rent & eviction protection

Is 1024-1042 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 1907
2 or more units
10 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1907
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 1024-1042 Clement Street is a two-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by the Chinese Cemetery Association. The building has undergone several significant renovations and addressable issues over the past decades. Most notably, in 2017, the building received multiple violations during a routine safety inspection, including the need for carbon monoxide detectors, fire sprinkler systems, and general maintenance updates, all of which were abated by June 2017. In 2013, following a complaint, the building underwent window replacements to comply with order number 201217421, costing $15,000. The property has also had various accessibility improvements, including a $6,000 barrier removal project in 2012 for the liquor store space.

Recent maintenance activity includes the completion of sign removal and patching work in May 2024. The building has faced ongoing challenges with sidewalk maintenance and waste management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding debris and garbage between 2024 and 2025. The property is currently facing one unresolved issue from August 2024 regarding sidewalk conditions and access compliance, while another similar case was resolved. The commercial portion of the building has seen various ABC license changes, most recently involving Healthy Spirits Inc. and Cafe La Flore, with several associated planning approvals. The building's infrastructure maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including roofing work in 2008 and exterior repairs in 2001, though recent 311 calls have indicated ongoing issues with local cleanliness and debris management around the property.

Risk rating

How 1024-1042 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
9thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1568 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
