Clarendon Heights, SF 94114 2719020 3 units · 2 fl · 1952

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 197-199 Graystone 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 1952

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.

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, multi-family residential building at 197-199 Graystone Terrace in Clarendon Heights is a three-unit structure built in 1952, currently owned by Franco Partners LLC and classified as a Flats & Duplex. The building's maintenance record shows several significant improvements over the decades, with the most recent major work being a permitted project valued at $18,000 in October 2024. Prior improvements include a completed reroofing project in 2017 ($9,500), window replacements in 2001 (six vinyl windows, $4,512), and historical compliance work completed in 1984 and 1986. The property has experienced multiple maintenance issues and neighborhood disturbances in recent months, with more than ten service requests logged between 2023 and 2024, primarily related to graffiti, illegal parking, and street maintenance concerns. The most recent incidents involve various forms of graffiti on poles and infrastructure, along with reports of garbage and debris, though many cases were either resolved without direct intervention or resulted in unable to locate responses from enforcement agencies. Historical records from the 1990s document window installations and a previous reroofing project, while the building had achieved code compliance in the mid-1980s.

Risk rating

How 197-199 Graystone 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
42ndpercentile

Out of 40 buildings in this neighborhood, 23 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

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