Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 331-333 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 1912

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.

Built 1912
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 4-unit multi-family residential building at 331-333 Clipper Street in Noe Valley, owned by Alois Crowell Separate Prop, is a 2-story apartment building constructed in 1912. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly concerning the rear stairs, which have been a focus of multiple inspections and repairs. Most notably, in 2011, the building received a Notice of Violation (NOV) for rotting stair components, leading to a $2,500 repair project to address the issues, and in 2003, dry rot repairs were completed on less than 25% of the back stairs for $1,000. The building's fire safety systems also required attention during the same period, with violations recorded in 2002-2003 regarding fire escape ladders, extinguisher maintenance, combustible storage, and egress obstructions, all of which were eventually abated. A routine inspection in 2006 and another in 2011 (noting multiple violations including plumbing issues) prompted these repairs.

More recent history of the property shows regular municipal interactions, though primarily for external matters not directly related to building condition. These external issues included pavement defects noted in 2017, defaced signage in 2020, and a temporary moving sign request in 2013. A general service request was made to DPW Operations in 2021, which was resolved, though the specific details were not provided. The building's historical data reveals a pattern of maintenance requirements, particularly regarding stair safety and fire safety systems, with all noted violations being addressed and abated, maintaining the building's compliance with safety standards.

Risk rating

How 331-333 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
36thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1203 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Number of units
