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 1979
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 13-story, 202-unit residential building at 711 Eddy Street, owned by Eastern Park Apartments LP and constructed in 1979, has undergone significant capital improvements and faced multiple compliance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there has been persistent attention to fire safety systems, with multiple fire code violations documented between 2022 and 2024, including issues with sleeping area requirements, alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and fire command center features. Recent building improvements include comprehensive fire pump renovations in 2022-2023, guardrail installations on the 8th and 13th floors in 2022, and the installation of three new boilers in July 2022. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to essential systems, including electrical upgrades and plumbing improvements, with the most recent electrical work involving a 100-amp unit panel change in March 2023.

The property has experienced recurring issues with boiler permit compliance, with violations documented in 2022 and the most recent complaint in August 2024 regarding permits for two boilers (serial numbers FY04-10-34251 and FY04-10-34256). While most fire safety violations have been addressed through corrective actions or are marked as "Condition Corrected," several violations remained open or were referred to hearing as of September 2024. The building's history includes multiple system upgrades and maintenance projects, such as plumbing fixture replacements throughout the building, fire safety system improvements, and various maintenance works that indicate ongoing investment in building infrastructure. Despite these improvements, the recurring nature of boiler permit violations and recent fire code violations suggests challenges with maintaining regulatory compliance in certain areas.

Risk rating

How 711 Eddy 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
16thpercentile

Out of 85 buildings in this neighborhood, 71 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Number of units
