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, three-story multi-family residential building at 1878 Page Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by the Rosa Hong Nguyen Trust, was constructed in 1991 and has a significant history of maintenance and safety issues. Most notably, in May 2020, there was a serious complaint regarding raw sewage runoff being dumped into a backyard. The building underwent several safety violations between 2003-2004, including issues with combustible storage, egress obstructions, fire escape certification, and the need for automatic fire sprinklers—all of which were eventually abated. Additional concerns were documented in 2008 regarding gas shutoff tools and self-closing exterior doors, along with a staircase safety issue and window protection concerns.

The building's permit history shows various maintenance work, including reroofing in 2007 and street space work in 2015. Multiple 311 calls in 2024 have been logged, particularly regarding parking violations and driveway blocking issues, with several citations issued. The property has experienced several fire-related incidents, though none resulted in injuries, including smoke scares, carbon monoxide detector activations, and an alarm system malfunction. A routine inspection process was conducted in 2003-2008, and a general maintenance issue was noted in October 2023, which was accepted by the Department of Building Inspection. The building's sprinkler system and other safety features were installed during its initial 1989-1991 construction phase, and all identified violations from the earlier years were resolved by early 2004.

Risk rating

How 1878 Page 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
67thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 192 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
