Rent & eviction protection

Is 121-125 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 1904
2 or more units

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 1904
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 multi-family residential building at 121-125 Clement Street, owned by 121-123-125 Clement St LLC, was constructed in 1904 and contains three units with ground-floor retail space. The property underwent significant renovations in 2016-2018, including a substantial conversion of the ground-floor space into a children's daycare facility with new bathrooms, an exit corridor, and modifications to the storefront (costing $210,000), along with comprehensive improvements to the second and third-floor units. These upper-unit renovations ($100,000) included adding two new bathrooms, remodeling kitchens and baths, and installing stackable washer/dryer units. Safety improvements were a major focus during this period, with the installation of a new sprinkler monitoring system (2017), fire alarm system (2017), and related fire safety modifications costing nearly $13,000, though there was one complaint in May 2017 regarding unpermitted construction work.

The building's recent history includes routine maintenance and minor infrastructure improvements, such as street meter installations in 2018 and heating system replacement in 2017. Several complaints were filed in 2018 regarding a vacant commercial storefront, and there was a single fire alarm activation incident recorded, though no fire or injuries were involved. The property has experienced typical urban issues such as illegal postings, sidewalk cleaning needs, and occasional concerns about waste management, all of which have been resolved through normal city channels. In 2020, there was one complaint related to essential businesses during enforcement measures, and there have been no significant building code violations or safety concerns reported in recent years, with all major renovations completed and permitted through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 121-125 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
20thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1378 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

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.
