Rent & eviction protection

Is 316 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.

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 1911
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 316 Clement Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1911 in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, containing two residential units and ground-level commercial space. The building, currently owned by 316 Clement St LLC, has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, including a window replacement project in 2015 that involved installing energy-efficient windows, and essential plumbing work in 2011 involving replacement of the house trap and sewer system. The property has a documented history of some maintenance and accessibility upgrades, such as a reroofing project in 1993, restaurant signage installation in 1984, and various renovations to improve accessibility in 2009 including bathroom upgrades and the installation of an automatic door closer.

Recent years have seen several compliance issues and safety concerns that merit attention. Notably, there have been two building complaints filed in 2022 regarding unauthorized work: one for an unpermitted awning installation and another regarding a projecting sign not in compliance with planning regulations. Additionally, in October 2021, there was a complaint suggesting possible unauthorized residential rental activity in the upper story above the restaurant, with concerns about the building's historical "legal commercial use" status. The property has also experienced some maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding overflowing city garbage cans and environmental health concerns. A civil incident involving a natural gas leak was recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported. While many historical permits show regular maintenance and improvements to the building, the more recent compliance issues and safety concerns warrant careful observation of ongoing maintenance and regulatory adherence at this location.

Risk rating

How 316 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
