Rent & eviction protection

Is 2033 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.

Built 1916
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-unit residential building at 2033 Clement Street, located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure owned by Lulu Kwok and dating back to 1916. The property has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past few decades, including a horizontal addition completed in 1999, kitchen cabinet replacement and gypsum board work in 2000, and reroofing work in 1995 (though that permit ultimately expired). More recently, the building's exterior areas have received attention through sidewalk and street space repairs in 2010 and 2003, respectively.

The property has experienced some maintenance challenges in recent years, with the most current issue being tree root damage to the sidewalk reported in October 2024, which is still open and under review by Urban Forestry. The building has been affected by various incidents related to urban maintenance, including graffiti (both residential and commercial) in 2015 and 2019, improper postings in 2020, and a street cleaning issue in December 2019. While these incidents have generally been addressed and closed through appropriate channels, they indicate typical urban neighborhood challenges rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 2033 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
67thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 742 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
