Rent & eviction protection

Is 407 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 1890
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.

Built 1890
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 property at 407 Clipper Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1890 and currently owned by the Singh Walia Revocable Trust. The building has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work over the past several years, with the most recent major installations being solar panel systems completed in 2024, with one project featuring 14 panels and storage batteries (completed in May 2024). The property has seen substantial modernization efforts, including a complete kitchen remodel with dishwasher and new appliances in 2022, bathroom renovations, electrical rewiring of the entire unit, and window replacements. Notable structural work includes the demolition and rebuilding of an exterior retaining wall in 2020 (valued at $30,000) and comprehensive interior renovations planned for both units.

The building's history includes an earlier complaint about an illegal unit in the basement, filed in 2003 and resolved in 2011. The property has maintained compliance with building codes, as evidenced by the successful completion of numerous permits, including a 200-amp electrical service upgrade in 2018 and multiple bathroom and kitchen remodels in 2022. Infrastructure improvements have addressed exterior elements, including sidewalk maintenance (2022) and various street defect reports (2019). The property has also implemented modern safety systems, including fire warning devices and energy-efficient lighting throughout the building. All recent work appears to have been properly permitted and completed according to code requirements, with the owner undertaking substantial investments in both building systems and aesthetic improvements.

Risk rating

How 407 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
99thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 19 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
