Rent & eviction protection

Is 264 Clipper 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 1900

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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

264 Clipper Street is a two-unit residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the N Leung & A Chawla Revocable Trust. The one-story flats/duplex building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past three decades, with the most substantial work occurring in 2013, including the installation of a new internal stair connection, water heater replacement, sewer repair, and electrical work related to a new staircase, with a total estimated cost of $12,000. Prior to this, the building underwent extensive renovations in 2006, including a complete re-wire, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and various repairs totaling $200,000.

The property has a documented history of unpermitted construction activities, including the installation of a half-pipe, a new deck, and a kitchen remodel in 2005-2007, though these issues were eventually resolved. More recent maintenance patterns show emerging sewer-related concerns, with multiple reports of sewer odors recorded in September 2024, including one from a side sewer vent. The building's infrastructure improvements have included several significant plumbing and electrical upgrades, including complete rewiring in 2006 and multiple sewer-related repairs, with the most recent sewer maintenance occurring in early 2024. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including dry rot repair in 2005 and multiple stair repairs dating back to 1993, the recent pattern of sewer-related complaints suggests this may be an ongoing maintenance concern that requires monitoring.

Risk rating

How 264 Clipper 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
64thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 676 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
