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 1929
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 478-480 Euclid Avenue is a two-story multi-family residential building located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, owned by the Chin-look Revoc Tr and constructed in 1929. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most substantial work occurring between 2009 and 2014, including three major kitchen remodels (2010, 2011, and 2014) that encompassed new appliances, cabinets, lighting, and plumbing updates, along with bathroom improvements and window replacements. The building's roof was replaced in 2013 with modified bitumen, and various infrastructure upgrades were completed, including electrical system improvements with new subpanels and fixture installations. A street space permit was issued in 2018, with an earlier one from 2011 also noted in the records.

The property has experienced recurring issues with vehicles blocking driveways, with eight documented incidents between 2022 and 2024, though in most cases, responding officers were unable to locate the vehicles. These parking enforcement calls occurred regularly throughout the period, with several cases resulting in citations. A defaced parking sign was reported and resolved in August 2022. The only fire incident on record was a lock-in situation with no civilian injuries noted. The building appears to have maintained compliance with necessary permits and inspections throughout its history, with no recorded violations or safety concerns directly related to the building's structure or systems.

Risk rating

How 478-480 Euclid Ave'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
66thpercentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 92 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
