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 1983
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 three-story multi-family residential building at 2161-2163 Greenwich Street in Cow Hollow is owned by 2161 Greenwich LLC and consists of two units (2161 and 2163), with a history of significant improvements and safety upgrades. Built in 1983, the property underwent substantial modifications in 2017-2018, including the legalization of unit 2161A on the first floor and the addition of unit 2163A on the fourth floor, as well as the installation of a fire sprinkler system costing approximately $41,700. Important safety upgrades continued through 2020-2023, with the installation of fire sprinkler monitoring systems and related improvements. The building's infrastructure received notable enhancements, including electrical upgrades in 2019 with the installation of multiple circuits, lights, and receptacles throughout different units, as well as plumbing improvements including a tankless water heater installation and gas line modifications. Recent permits from late 2023 indicate ongoing final inspections for various systems, suggesting careful attention to regulatory compliance.

The building's recent history includes two complaints during 2020 regarding construction activities: one related to unpermitted roof work and another concerning nonessential construction during pandemic restrictions, though both complaints are currently listed as not active. A series of 311 calls from 2018-2023 primarily relate to street and sidewalk cleaning issues in the vicinity, including reports of hazardous materials and general waste, which are typical for urban locations. The property owner has consistently pursued necessary permits and inspections for various improvements, as evidenced by the numerous permit applications and their current status, which indicates a proactive approach to maintaining building safety and compliance with local regulations.

Risk rating

How 2161-2163 Greenwich 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.
