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 2008
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 Broadway Family Apartments is a multi-family residential building located at 810-820 Battery Street, North Waterfront, consisting of 87 units and completed in 2008. The property has undergone numerous significant improvements and faced various challenges over the years. Most recently, in September 2024, the building applied for a substantial fire alarm system upgrade to comply with city requirements, including the installation of low-frequency horns in sleeping areas and new power supplies. The building has experienced recurring issues with boiler permits, as evidenced by multiple complaints in November 2020 and violations in 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements and alarm system maintenance. The property has historically faced some safety concerns, including blocked exits (2017), a malfunctioning HVAC system (2013), and a water quality issue with yellow/black tap water reported in 2022.

Significant recent improvements include the installation of a solar hot water system in 2017 (32 collectors and 1,900-gallon storage tank), playground renovation in 2016, and telecommunications upgrades in 2020. The building's fire safety record shows several violations and complaints related to alarm systems and exit accessibility between 2017-2023, though many were corrected promptly. The property has experienced a number of false fire alarms over the years, primarily in 2019-2021, and two incidents of elevator rescues (civilian injuries: 0). Recent maintenance work includes the replacement of two boilers in January 2025, though this follows previous permit compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 810-820 Battery 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
12thpercentile

Out of 8 buildings in this neighborhood, 7 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

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