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 1988
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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 three-story multi-family residential building at 1164-1166 Filbert Street in Russian Hill, constructed in 1988, is a two-unit flats and duplex property currently owned by the Patricia Dinner Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and upgrades over the past three decades, with the most recent major improvements occurring between 2015-2018, including a substantial $500,000 interior remodel of the kitchen, laundry, and closet on the second level, installation of a solar power system with 12 PV modules, and a battery backup system with Tesla Powerwall technology. In 2016, the building underwent important safety upgrades, including reinforcement and replacement of the south balconies on level 3 with a 20-inch reduction in depth, and the removal and replacement of finishes in the powder room. The property has maintained its systems through regular updates, including three furnace changes (one on each floor in 2011), fireplace installations (2021 and 2016), and various plumbing and electrical improvements.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural integrity and modernization, with earlier improvements including bathroom remodels (2002), kitchen/dining room renovations (1993), and various balcony-related enhancements. A noise complaint related to construction work was filed in 2016, though it is noted as not currently active. The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, particularly in early 2020, resulting in multiple citations, though these appear to have been resolved. A sidewalk defect caused by tree roots was reported in 2019 and remains listed as open/accepted. The building's permitted modifications have generally received appropriate approvals, with notable projects including a deck installation and kitchen enlargement variance, though some proposals, such as building a 3-car garage at the front of the lot, were disapproved. The property's comprehensive renovation history suggests ongoing investment in maintenance and improvement, with particular emphasis on sustainability and modern conveniences in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1164-1166 Filbert 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
65thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 397 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
