Rent & eviction protection

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

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.

Coverage unclear. AB 1482 turns on the certificate-of-occupancy date and property type — confirm the year the building was completed.

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-unit, four-story multi-family residential building at 1830-1834 Taylor Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Manuel Bem Barroca Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some regulatory challenges since its construction in 1913. Most notably, there are two recent violations related to an unpermitted roof deck installation, with the most recent complaint filed in November 2023 regarding an expired permit from 2007 ($5,000 project cost) for converting a storage room into a bedroom/home office. This violation remained active until February 2024, when a fee of $2,000 was paid to abate it. The building has received substantial maintenance and upgrades, including complete kitchen and bathroom renovations in 2019 ($20,000), two sewer line replacements in 2020 and 2022, and a new roof in 2019 ($16,000). The 2023-2024 period saw the building's most recent permit activity, focusing on resolving the outstanding roof deck enforcement matter.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to both general upkeep and modernization, including the installation of 13-panel solar PV system in 2015, comprehensive electrical system upgrades in 2004 (including 400A service upgrade and elevator installation), and various plumbing improvements such as water heater replacements and bathroom fixture updates. Past building complaints include routine inspections in 2002 and 2005, as well as a 2010 complaint about a neighboring barbecue installation. The street-level area has experienced typical urban issues documented through 311 calls, including sidewalk maintenance and graffiti removal, though these are external to the building itself and have been generally addressed promptly by city services.

Risk rating

How 1830-1834 Taylor 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
16thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 952 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
