Rent & eviction protection

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.

Built 1925
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

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 property at 2935 Larkin Street, owned by 915 North Point LLC, is a significant development project in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood that commenced in 2019. Originally consisting of a 29,400-square-foot parking garage constructed in 1925, the site has undergone substantial transformation, with current plans including two four-story residential buildings containing a total of 34 dwelling units (10 studios, 12 one-bedrooms, 8 two-bedrooms, and 4 three-bedrooms). The project has progressed through various phases, with recent work focusing on infrastructure installation including fire systems, HVAC, and plumbing throughout 2024. Construction has been marked by several challenges, including multiple complaints about construction noise during non-permitted hours in late 2023, and concerns from neighboring residents about access and safety due to construction-related clutter as documented in September 2024 complaints. The project required substantial utility upgrades, including the installation of new fire services, backflow preventers, and underground piping, with final completion projected to include solar panels on the North Point building roof and comprehensive residential amenities. Historical records indicate the site underwent a significant regulatory review process, resulting in the approved demolition of the existing garage and construction of the new mixed-use residential buildings with basement parking.

The development has maintained active compliance with building codes, though several permits have expired requiring re-issuance, and there have been periodic issues with construction-related impacts on neighboring properties. The project's scope has evolved from its original proposal, which included 37 units and ground-floor retail, to the current configuration of 34 units with shared open space features. Recent plumbing and electrical work demonstrates ongoing progress towards completion, with systems being installed for complete building functionality including fire safety, HVAC, and electrical infrastructure. The property has generated significant public interest and regulatory oversight, as evidenced by multiple planning records and permits spanning from 2019 through 2024, including extensive review of construction impacts on neighboring properties and compliance with San Francisco building codes and regulations.

Risk rating

How 2935 Larkin 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

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 1122 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.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 9.5%
Moderate concern 84.5%
Severe concern 6.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
