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 2003
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

2645 Baker Street is a 4-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood. Built in 2003 by owners William Dwight Connolly and K, the building was constructed following the demolition of an older three-unit structure in October 2000, with permits showing initial foundation work beginning in 2002 and electrical installation completed by late 2002. The 2-unit building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent activity being kitchen cabinet replacement underway in 2024, including associated plumbing and electrical work. Previous notable renovations include a master bathroom upgrade in 2019 (vanity and sinks), re-waterproofing and tiling of the rear patio in 2013, and the installation of street space permits in 2008 and 2015.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of common elements, though there have been recurring issues with parking enforcement, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding driveway blocking between 2023-2024. Tree maintenance has been a consistent concern, with three reported incidents between 2018-2024, the most recent being an open case from July 2024 regarding a potentially hazardous tree. A fire complaint was filed in January 2008 but was found to have no merit. The property has undergone proper routine housing inspections, with records showing resolution of any noted issues. The building's records also indicate a successful conversion from a three-unit to a two-unit configuration, with associated condominium conversion process completed.

Risk rating

How 2645 Baker 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
93rdpercentile

Out of 861 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.
