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 2018
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Likely exempt from AB 1482. Housing with a certificate of occupancy issued within the previous 15 years is exempt from the state rent cap and just-cause rules.

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 building at 1463-1465 Lombard Street in Cow Hollow is a multi-family residential property that has undergone several significant changes and faced multiple safety-related issues in recent years. Most notably, there were two fire code violations issued in 2024 and 2021, with the most recent violation concerning an ERRCS permit issued in September 2024. The building's fire safety systems have been a recurring focus, with various upgrades and modifications documented between 2018-2021, including the installation of a new automatic fire alarm system, ERRCS upgrades, and related electrical work totaling over $18,000.

The ground floor space has been repurposed as a bicycle rental facility, with tenant improvements completed in 2018-2019 including changes to reception areas, restrooms, and rental spaces, with associated plumbing and electrical work costing approximately $10,500. The building has experienced several emergency response incidents, primarily related to elevator issues, alarm malfunctions, invalid assists, and water/steam leaks, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent records indicate ongoing concerns with driveway blocking, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement actions throughout 2024. Additionally, there was a complaint in early 2024 regarding shared spaces, and a 2024 incident involving a fallen tree was reported and resolved. While the building has maintained active compliance with most basic requirements, the recurring fire code violations and related safety system updates suggest ongoing attention needed to maintain compliance with current safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 1463-1465 Lombard 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 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 792 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 40.0%
Moderate concern 41.1%
Severe concern 19.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
