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 1980
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 property at 887 Webster Street in San Francisco's Western Addition is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1980, currently owned by the Alfred & Rhonda Scott Family. The building experienced significant maintenance issues in March 2007, when multiple violations were recorded related to water damage, including damaged ceilings, sink repairs, and the need to locate the source of water damage, all of which were resolved by April 17, 2007. More recently, between December 2024 and January 2025, there have been numerous reports of waste management issues in the vicinity, including multiple complaints about abandoned Christmas trees and general debris, though these are external to the building itself.

The building's safety record shows some fire safety concerns between 2016 and 2019, with three inspections noting issues with fire extinguishers (2017 and 2019), sprinkler systems (2016), and alarm systems (2019). While the 2019 fire extinguisher violation was corrected, the other two were found to have "No Merit." The property has not experienced any significant fire incidents, with only four minor emergency responses recorded: a natural gas leak, a minor vehicle accident, a lock-in situation, and an EMS incident, none of which resulted in civilian injuries. The most recent activity related to the building, as of October 2023, consists primarily of street cleaning and waste management issues in the surrounding area rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 887 Webster 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 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 15 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
