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 1991
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 three-unit residential building at 654 Broderick Street in Park North was constructed in 1991 as a three-story flats and duplex structure. The building's development history includes three significant construction permits from 1989-1990: the main construction of the three-story, three-unit residential building, installation of fire sprinklers, and an alteration to the framing plan in dining areas on the second and third floors. The property has faced multiple maintenance challenges over recent years, with the most pressing issues occurring in early 2023 when multiple violations were documented, including inadequate heating in habitable rooms, window repairs, sanitation concerns, damaged walls, and potential lead paint hazards. While these violations were officially abated by February 2023, they indicate past concerns regarding building maintenance and tenant comfort.

The building's historical records reveal recurring moisture-related issues, particularly during 2018-2019 when multiple complaints about mold were filed regarding bathroom windows and bedroom walls. Other maintenance issues have included peeling paint in 2023 and several routine safety inspections. More recently, from late 2023 to 2024, there have been various service requests and complaints, including sewer issues, water leaks, and sidewalk tree root concerns. While the building was properly equipped with fire safety systems at the time of construction in 1990, as evidenced by the fire sprinkler installation permit, maintenance of these systems has periodically been a concern, as shown by a 2007 fire safety violation. The property is currently showing two approved planning records for the construction of a three-unit condominium, though these appear to be administrative in nature, reflecting the building's original construction purpose.

Risk rating

How 654 Broderick 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.
