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.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

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.

Coverage unclear. AB 1482 turns on the certificate-of-occupancy date and property type — confirm the year the building was completed.

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 1543-1549 Clement Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a mixed-use building with two residential units and commercial space, constructed in 1913 and owned by Jorge Klor Dealva Llc. The building underwent significant renovation between 2018-2020, including the addition of fire safety features such as sprinklers, complete plumbing upgrades, and interior reconfigurations of residential units. Notable improvements included the installation of hydronic heating, new kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry facilities, with associated electrical upgrades for 200-amp service and subpanels. Multiple permits were issued and completed for these improvements, with the most recent related work occurring in 2020.

The renovation period (2018-2020) saw several building complaints filed, primarily regarding construction activities, including allegations of window blocking, excavation violations, and permit scope issues. These complaints were marked as "Not Active." The building's fire safety systems were upgraded significantly, with multiple fire complaints resolved, including issues with blocked exits and hood service refusals in 2017, and an unspecified complaint in 2020. The property has experienced several maintenance issues since 2023, including sewage backup and sidewalk concerns, with recent 311 calls mostly related to street cleaning and encampment reports in 2023-2024. Historical permits show earlier infrastructure work, including water service replacement in 2014 and various electrical upgrades. While there were initial concerns during the 2018 construction period, the most recent building records indicate no active complaints or violations, with all major renovation work having received appropriate permits and inspections.

Risk rating

How 1543-1549 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
18thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1845 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.
