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 1988
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 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building at 1105 Fell Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Tamanaha Family Trust, was constructed in 1988 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over its lifetime. Most recently, in 2018, the building underwent both roofing work (cost: $24,800) and repairs to water-damaged siding (cost: $5,000), suggesting ongoing maintenance to address weather-related issues. The building has a complete sprinkler system installed, which was part of the original construction in 1988, along with revised framing details.

In 2008, the building underwent a comprehensive health and safety inspection that resulted in multiple violations requiring attention, including issues with fire proofing materials, garage ventilation, unsafe hardware, combustible storage, self-closing devices at exterior doors, and a broken window pane. All these violations were promptly abated by March 2008. The building has been subject to regular routine safety inspections in 2010 and 2017, though no serious violations were recorded in subsequent inspections. Recent issues reported through 311 calls primarily involve external matters such as parking violations, including multiple incidents of driveway blocking and bicycle lane violations, as well as occasional maintenance concerns like graffiti removal, with the most recent cases occurring between 2022 and 2025. The building's documented history shows that while it has experienced typical urban maintenance issues, particularly related to parking and exterior upkeep, major safety concerns have been addressed promptly when identified.

Risk rating

How 1105 Fell 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
71stpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 298 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
