Rent & eviction protection

Is 184 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 before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1900
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

184 Clipper Street is a three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by Mark A. and Melissa T. Sweeney. The property has undergone substantial renovations in 2023, including a comprehensive kitchen remodel ($53,886) and bathroom updates ($30,000) with associated electrical and plumbing work, as well as the installation of a hydronic baseboard radiant heating system. These improvements followed several concerning complaints in 2020 regarding hazardous appliances, including an old range and black mold issues in bathrooms and closets. Prior to the recent renovations, the building had notable maintenance challenges, including violations in 2016 for peeling paint and lead hazards, which were abated by July 2016. The building received structural attention in 1993 with wood structure and foundation repairs, and in 1990, the roof was replaced.

Recent maintenance and inspection records show a focus on updating essential systems and addressing past violations. The property has been actively maintained, with completed permits showing significant investment in modernizing electrical systems, including new circuits and lighting, as well as plumbing upgrades throughout 2023. While there were multiple complaints and violations between 2016 and 2020 regarding various safety and maintenance issues, these appear to have been resolved, particularly with the recent renovation work. The building's most recent incident was a smoke detector malfunction, with no injuries reported. Current concerns appear to be primarily related to exterior maintenance, as evidenced by recent 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk defects and illegal parking, though these are not directly related to building conditions or safety.

Risk rating

How 184 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
42ndpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1090 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
