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 1909
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-story, mixed-use building at 1407 Bush Street, owned by Julio G & Tamie T Shinzato, was constructed in 1909 and is located in the Van Ness/Civic Center neighborhood. The property has undergone numerous commercial tenant improvements over the years, most notably transitioning between various retail and restaurant uses from 2006 to 2011, including a significant restoration for the restaurant "Fina Estampa." The building completed a seismic retrofit in 2003 and has maintained regular updates to its infrastructure, including a significant underpinning project in 2017 to accommodate nearby development.

Recent inspections have identified recurring fire safety concerns, with violations issued in 2024 related to sprinkler systems and emergency response systems. The building has experienced some infrastructure challenges, including a notable sewage leak incident in 2011 that affected neighboring properties, though this was promptly addressed. Recent 311 calls from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing exterior maintenance needs, including graffiti issues and garbage concerns, though these are primarily related to the building's surroundings rather than the structure itself. The property has maintained compliance with most building codes through various repairs and upgrades, including fire suppression system installations, sewer repairs, and several electrical improvements.

Risk rating

How 1407 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
80thpercentile

Out of 85 buildings in this neighborhood, 17 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.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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