Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story building at 675-679 Clementina Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, built in 1908 and currently owned by the Steven J Oliva Trust, has experienced significant and concerning issues over the past several months. Most notably, there have been multiple housing code violations in late 2023 related to heating system failures, common area maintenance problems, and unit-specific deficiencies, particularly at 677 Clementina Street. A serious situation was reported in December 2023 regarding water damage, rotted bathroom flooring, and mold issues in both the bathroom and bedroom windows, along with heating unit inoperability. These violations prompted several official notices, including a determination that the property constituted a nuisance under San Francisco housing code. A fire incident occurred near the property in June 2023, involving outside rubbish or trash, though there were no civilian injuries or fatalities.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 675-679 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.

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.

Risk rating

How 675-679 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
14thpercentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 370 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
