Rent & eviction protection

Is 1485 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 1913
2 or more units

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 1913
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, two-story multi-family residential building at 1485 Clayton Street in Clarendon Heights, built in 1913, is currently owned by the Marc Lamboy Revocable Living Trust. The most recent significant maintenance work scheduled for the property is a $14,000 re-roofing project, which was issued a permit in January 2025 for replacing existing roofing materials. The building has a documented history of various maintenance issues, including a 1990 water heater flue and electrical service replacement, and a 1989 repair of the porch area involving walls, ceiling, and flooring.

The property experienced several concerning issues in 2004, when complaints were filed regarding inadequate drainage for a patio and backyard area (resulting in waste and water runoff onto the sidewalk), concerns about an improperly constructed retaining wall, and the installation of an unpermitted overhead canopy near a neighbor's furnace gas line, which raised potential fire hazard concerns. More recently, between 2023 and 2024, there have been multiple reports of graffiti on and around the property, including several incidents of offensive graffiti on the sidewalk that required intervention from various city departments. The property has also faced some basic maintenance and compliance issues, such as improper toter management in June 2023. A planning record from the past indicates an approved variance related to lot width and area, though the specific details of this variance and its impact on the property are not provided in the available data.

Risk rating

How 1485 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
67thpercentile

Out of 40 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

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