Rent & eviction protection

Is 37-39 Clover 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.

Built 1905

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 1905
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 37-39 Clover Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. Built in 1905 and currently owned by the Sutanto Widjaja Revocable Trust, this flats and duplex building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few years. In February 2020, substantial work was completed on both units, including kitchen cabinet replacements, bathroom fixture updates, foundation repairs (addressing cracks on the south side), and backyard deck repairs. The building received comprehensive system upgrades in March 2020, including electrical rewiring of kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, as well as plumbing improvements that encompassed bathroom and kitchen remodeling, laundry box installations, gas line work, and the addition of two tankless water heaters.

More recently, in 2021, there was an attempt to add a basement accessory dwelling unit under ordinance 162-16, but this permit was withdrawn. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges in the surrounding area, particularly with tree management, as evidenced by multiple tree removal cases in 2023, including a notable incident of a fallen tree in April 2023. There are currently open issues regarding pavement defects on the street (reported in January 2023) that remain unresolved. The most recent building-related concern was reported in July 2024, involving an unlabeled low-hanging cable, which was attributed to Comcast. Despite these external issues, the property's documented history shows that most major systems and structural elements have been properly maintained and upgraded, with no recorded building code violations or safety concerns in recent years.

Risk rating

How 37-39 Clover 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
99thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 13 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.

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.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.
