Inner Richmond, SF 94118 1431022 3 units · 3 fl · 1903

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 130-134 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.

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 three-story mixed-use building at 130-134 Clement Street in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by Jgc Trust 2007, was constructed in 1903 and contains three residential units above ground-floor commercial space. The property has undergone significant improvements and renovations over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring between 2010-2011, when comprehensive building-wide upgrades were made including the installation of a new sprinkler system, electrical upgrades, replacement of building facades, and the installation of three new furnaces. More recent commercial tenant improvements include the establishment of "The Spanish Table" specialty grocery store in 2015, which involved new fixtures, equipment, flooring, plumbing, and electrical work, as well as the installation of a new non-electric wall sign.

The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, though there have been some concerns in recent years. The property experienced periodic issues with street cleaning and debris, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls from 2022-2024 regarding garbage, waste, and sidewalk maintenance. A notable incident occurred in December 2022 when graffiti was reported on the commercial portion of the building, though this was noted to be part of a backlog of complaints resulting from COVID-era enforcement suspensions. Planning records indicate a proposed conversion of existing commercial space on the second and third floors to residential use, though the status is listed as "Closed - Approved" without further details on implementation. The building's commercial space has maintained active use with appropriate permits, including limited off-site alcohol sales and a deli counter for off-site consumption, though previous attempts to establish health clinics on the second floor without proper authorization were abated.

Risk rating

How 130-134 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
23rdpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1327 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building age

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