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 1993
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 175 Jones Street property is a 9-story, 175-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1993, currently managed by Tenderloin Family Housing LP. The building has experienced recurrent elevator issues, with multiple complaints dating from 2022-2024 reporting persistent outages and disabled access problems, particularly affecting residents in the back left tower. Recent significant maintenance activities include ongoing renovations to the laundromat (2024), replacement of dryer ducting and venting (2023), and installation of a new 399,000 BTU water heater (2024). The building has faced several fire safety violations, including a currently open violation from November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, and a previously blocked exits citation (April 2024). Multiple water-related issues have been reported, with significant leaks affecting several floors (2022-2023), and building systems have undergone various mechanical updates including boiler replacements in 2022 and 2017, and electrical system improvements.

Recent complaints have raised concerns about the state of the adjacent Spark Park area (September 2024), and issues with laundromat operations and construction hours (2024) are currently flagged as active. Historical violations from 2008 and 2015 related to fire door closers, ceiling repairs, and various interior surface issues have all been abated. The building's commercial component has undergone numerous improvements, including new hood installation for an existing non-formula retail restaurant (2024) and various utility upgrades. While the property has maintained active permits for various improvements and repairs, the pattern of elevator outages, recent fire safety violations, and recurring water-related complaints suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges.

Risk rating

How 175 Jones 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
19thpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 139 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
