Rent & eviction protection

Is 271-275 Clinton Park 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 1906
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

271-275 Clinton Park is a 3-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by 271 Clinton Park Llc and located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, particularly in fire safety systems, with a comprehensive upgrade to fire alarms in 2020-2021 (including new smoke detectors and horns) and the installation of fire sprinkler systems throughout the ground floor in 2020-2021, costing approximately $35,306. The property has undergone substantial modernization in 2020-2021, including complete bathroom and kitchen remodels in all 7 units, installation of new furnaces and water heaters for all units, and the addition of two new ground floor ADUs with 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms each, along with their respective utilities and systems.

The building has a history of addressing safety concerns, with previous violations related to stairs and handrails in 2003 that were resolved by 2004. Some construction-related complaints were filed in April 2020 regarding non-essential work and disturbance, which were subsequently marked as not active. The property has experienced minimal recent issues, with only one documented fire incident involving unintentional smoke detector activation, though no civilian injuries were reported. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to exterior issues such as garbage, debris, and encampments near the property, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety systems. The extensive renovations and systems upgrades performed between 2020 and 2021 suggest significant investment in the building's infrastructure and safety features, indicating a comprehensive approach to modernizing the property while maintaining its historical character.

Risk rating

How 271-275 Clinton Park'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

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
