Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 114 Clarendon Ave, owned by the Wright-york Family Trust, was constructed in 1908 and converted from a 4-unit to a 2-unit configuration in 1991. The property has undergone several improvements over the decades, including a cosmetic bathroom remodel in 2020 (cost: $10,000), sewer and house trap installation in January 2024, and various historical projects such as reroofing in 1995 and kitchen remodeling work in 1985. Of particular concern is an active complaint filed in January 2023 regarding deteriorating back stairs, which remains unresolved as of the latest review. The building's safety record shows multiple fire alarm activations since 2009, though all were either false alarms, unintentional activations, or related to malfunctioning systems, with no civilian injuries reported in any incidents. While there have been some structural and maintenance concerns over the years, including a notable "building or structure weakened or collapsed" alarm activation, most historical complaints and incidents have been promptly addressed.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 114 Clarendon Ave 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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1908
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.

Risk rating

How 114 Clarendon Ave'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
57thpercentile

Out of 40 buildings in this neighborhood, 17 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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