Rent & eviction protection

Is 775 Clementina 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 1923
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 1923
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

775 Clementina Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1923 in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. The property has undergone significant recent renovations, with major construction activity occurring between 2021-2023 including layout reconfigurations, bathroom additions, window replacements, and electrical and plumbing upgrades. The building's history has been marked by serious housing safety concerns, particularly in 2015-2016, when multiple complaints were filed regarding an alleged illegal rooftop unit with reported safety hazards including inadequate electrical supply (using extension cords), structural concerns, and various health issues such as mold and inadequate heating. These complaints, filed by tenant Keith Silva, highlighted significant concerns about building safety, fire hazards, and illegal unit occupancy, though many of these complaints were eventually marked as "Not Active." More recently, there was a "Condition Corrected" fire complaint regarding an unapproved place of assembly in December 2023, while the building has maintained an active permit history with substantial improvements including bathroom renovations, window replacements, and system upgrades throughout the property.

The property has undergone considerable permitted work in recent years, with the most substantial being a $300,000 renovation completed in 2023 that included bathroom reconfigurations and bedroom conversions. Other major improvements include a complete electrical rewiring, new service panel installation, plumbing upgrades throughout the property, and window replacements. Despite these renovations, there remain unresolved public area concerns in the vicinity of the building, with multiple recent 311 calls in early 2025 regarding street cleaning issues and parking violations. The building has a documented history of fire safety inspections, with several complaints about overcrowding and blocked exits in the past, though most were resolved with "No Merit" findings. While the property underwent significant improvements between 2021-2023, the historical record of complaints and violations suggests a pattern of previous regulatory compliance challenges, though recent construction activity indicates substantial investment in building upgrades and improvements.

Risk rating

How 775 Clementina 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
65thpercentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 150 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
