Rent & eviction protection

Is 1419-1423 Clayton 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 before 1979
Built 1954
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1954
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, 10-unit multi-family residential building at 1419-1423 Clayton Street, owned by Berton H & Jacqueline G Ste, was constructed in 1954 and has undergone several significant upgrades over the years. Most recently, in August 2023 and October 2023, the building received substantial fire safety improvements, including a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with San Francisco Fire Code Section 1103.7.6.1, with work including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and upgrading existing devices. The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, with major projects like reroofing (2014 - $22,465), foundation and retaining wall repairs (2006 - $18,000), and electrical system upgrades including underground service installation (2005). Multiple fire alarm system-related complaints were recorded in 2024, with the most recent being resolved with corrected conditions.

The property's compliance history shows some notable issues that have been addressed over time. In 2010, multiple violations were documented, including concerns about lead-based paint, combustible storage, security requirements, and fire safety systems, all of which were abated by March 2010. A sewer-related complaint was recorded in 2012 and resolved in early 2013, and there were some plumbing system issues noted in 2009 regarding hot and cold water availability. The building has maintained regular routine inspections, including records from 2001, 2010, and 2017. Recent 311 calls (2023-2024) primarily relate to external issues such as street cleaning, graffiti, and debris, which are typical urban maintenance matters not necessarily indicative of building conditions. The property has demonstrated a commitment to ongoing maintenance and compliance with safety regulations, as evidenced by recent substantial investments in fire safety upgrades and prompt resolution of various maintenance issues over the years.

Risk rating

How 1419-1423 Clayton 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
10thpercentile

Out of 40 buildings in this neighborhood, 36 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.

Property class

The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects. This code is grouped with other less-common classes.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
