Rent & eviction protection

Is 100 Clifford Ter 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
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH2
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 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 property at 100 Clifford Terrace, located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1904 and currently owned by Castro LLC. The building has undergone significant renovation and remediation work over the past two decades, most notably between 2005-2009 when substantial improvements were made to convert and legalize the two units. This included interior renovations of the lower level, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, electrical rewiring, plumbing improvements including new furnaces and water heaters, and structural work on the foundation. The building had a history of maintenance and compliance issues, including multiple violations between 2002-2007 related to illegal units, water damage, and non-compliant window installations, all of which were eventually abated.

Recent records from 2024-2025 show various municipal service requests in the vicinity of the building, primarily consisting of street cleaning, parking enforcement, and graffiti removal, though these are external to the building itself. A carbon monoxide detector activation incident with no CO presence was recorded, but there have been no recent building-specific violations or complaints. The property underwent significant infrastructure improvements during the 2005-2009 period, including foundation repairs, bathroom renovations, and the installation of new electrical systems, plumbing fixtures, and HVAC systems, which should have addressed many of the historical compliance and maintenance issues. The most recent building permit records indicate all major renovation and repair work has been completed and properly documented.

Risk rating

How 100 Clifford Ter'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
80thpercentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 70 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building age

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