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 1938
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-unit residential building at 2137-2139 Turk Boulevard, jointly owned by Gene Yee Chun Seto and Corina Wong, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1938. The property has undergone significant renovations and upgrades over the past few years, with major work occurring between 2020-2023 including comprehensive electrical rewiring, plumbing improvements, window replacements, and kitchen remodels in both units. Notable improvements include the installation of tankless water heaters, complete rewiring with modern circuits and lighting, and a substantial renovation in Unit 2139 that converted a dining room into a bedroom while maintaining fire safety requirements.

Historical records from the late 1990s indicate past issues with illegal units in the basement and various building code violations, including plumbing work done without proper permits. These complaints, filed between 1998-2001, have all been resolved or marked as not active. The building's maintenance history shows consistent upgrading of facilities, particularly focusing on modernization and efficiency improvements such as new windows with improved thermal performance and updated plumbing systems. Recent external maintenance issues in 2024 have primarily involved street-level concerns such as graffiti and debris, with multiple 311 calls recorded for these matters, though these are not direct reflections on the building's internal conditions or management. The most recent permit activity includes both electrical and plumbing work completed in March 2023, indicating ongoing attention to building maintenance and upgrades.

Risk rating

How 2137-2139 Turk Blvd'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
99thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 8 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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