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

949 Post Street is a 24-unit multi-family residential building located in the Downtown neighborhood, managed by 439 43rd Avenue LLC. The building was constructed in 2000 and has undergone several significant improvements, including a major renovation in 2010 that relocated the manager's unit from the second to the first floor and added a full bathroom and kitchen. The property has a documented history of fire safety improvements, including the installation of a complete fire sprinkler system, fire alarm system, and associated electrical work in 2003, totaling over $100,000 in safety-related upgrades. Recent concerns include an active fire code violation from November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, and a 2023 incident involving a metal pole that required inspection. The building has experienced periodic elevator issues, particularly concerning its reliability for senior tenants, with significant complaints filed in 2018. Multiple fire safety violations were issued and subsequently abated between 2020-2023, including issues with extinguishers, emergency lighting, and combustible materials. The property has also faced maintenance challenges, as evidenced by complaints in 2019 regarding electrical systems, heating problems, and evidence of pest control issues in Unit 201. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing concerns with street-level cleanliness around the property. While the building has consistently addressed violations through corrective actions, the persistence of certain issues and recent complaints suggests ongoing maintenance and safety monitoring requirements.

Risk rating

How 949 Post 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
50th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 224 are predicted to be safer.

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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 9.5%
Moderate concern 68.7%
Severe concern 21.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
