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 1987
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 two-unit residential building at 1970-1972 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Asaye A Takagi, has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects since its construction in 1987. Most notably, in 2021, the building received substantial exterior improvements, including dry rot repairs and replacement of the north facade, along with comprehensive updates to the street-facing side featuring cedar wood siding installation, window replacements, and modifications to the glass wall and roof structure, with total expenditures exceeding $80,000. The building's maintenance history shows a recurring pattern of addressing wood deterioration, with dry rot repairs documented in both 1998 and 2021, and multiple instances of siding replacement and window upgrades between 2012-2021. Historical records indicate some fire safety concerns, including two complaints in 2005 and 2012 that were determined to have no merit, and a CO detector activation incident with no civilian injuries.

Recent activity around the property (2023-2024) has primarily involved typical urban issues such as parking enforcement, sidewalk blockage, and street cleaning needs. There have been multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways, and several instances of street cleaning requests, including cases involving medical waste and garbage debris. While these incidents reflect general neighborhood conditions rather than building-specific issues, they indicate ongoing urban maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity. The most recent building permit activity shows a commitment to maintaining the property's exterior and addressing structural issues as they arise, with no recorded building code violations or major safety concerns since the last renovation work was completed in 2021.

Risk rating

How 1970-1972 Bush 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
91stpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 60 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.

Building age

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

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.
