Rent & eviction protection

Is 235-237 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.

Built 1908

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-unit residential building at 235-237 Clinton Park in Mission Dolores, owned by Kenneth P. Hansen, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908. The property underwent significant improvements between 2016 and 2019, including the legalization of an unauthorized studio apartment with kitchen and full bath in 2016 under ordinance no. 43-14, which was followed by various renovation and safety upgrades. Most notably, between 2019 and 2020, a new fire sprinkler system was installed on the first floor, with associated electrical work including the installation of a new 3-unit meter main and wire for the downstairs unit. Earlier improvements included a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2012, complete with new plumbing and electrical systems, as well as roof replacement.

The building's recent maintenance history shows attention to safety and modernization, including the installation of solar panels in 2014 and various unit upgrades in 2019, such as a new direct vent heater and bathroom improvements. While there have been multiple 311 calls related to the property, particularly concerning parking issues and street cleaning, these are primarily external to the building itself. The most recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 include reports of garbage, debris, and parking violations in the vicinity, though many cases were promptly resolved. The property's permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, with particular emphasis on safety improvements and compliance with current building codes.

Risk rating

How 235-237 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

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
94thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 48 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Building age

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