Rent & eviction protection

Is 1947-1953 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 two-story multi-family residential building at 1947-1953 Clement Street, owned by Noni Trust, was constructed in 1920 and contains 4 units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent work occurring in late 2020, which included a kitchen remodel featuring new cabinets, floor tiles, countertops, and windows, along with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling $15,000. Earlier renovations include a complete roof replacement in 2018 ($17,000), and a kitchen remodel in 2014 that included various updates and was supported by comprehensive electrical and plumbing work. The building has experienced some structural maintenance issues, with records showing repairs to the exterior deck/porch in 2009 following a termite inspection, and repairs to the exterior stairs in 2007 due to dry rot, both indicating proactive maintenance of common areas.

The property had a set of fire safety violations in late 2009 regarding fire extinguishers, though these were promptly addressed and resolved within a month. There are no active building violations on record. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including multiple kitchen renovations and system upgrades, though the age of the building suggests ongoing maintenance needs. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street and sidewalk issues outside the building, including parking violations and waste removal, but these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The fire incident records show one outside trash-related incident and one false alarm, neither of which caused injuries or significant damage.

Risk rating

How 1947-1953 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
32ndpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1530 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.

Director's hearings, owner's portfolio

Escalated DBI enforcement actions across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

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