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 1981
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 315-317 29th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Stanley & Helen Lee, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1981. Most recently, in June 2021, there was a vinyl siding installation project valued at $10,000, though this followed a complaint about unauthorized siding replacement. Prior to this, the building experienced a concerning incident in June 2018 when a ceiling collapse occurred in the living room, resulting in mold contamination from the debris. The building has undergone necessary roofing work on multiple occasions, with permitted projects recorded in 1994, 2013, and most recently in 2021.

The property has faced various infrastructure challenges in the surrounding area, particularly with sidewalk conditions in December 2020 when reports of collapsed sidewalks were documented and subsequently repaired under permit. There have been multiple parking enforcement issues near the property, with citations issued in late 2021 for blocked driveways. The building's vicinity has experienced several urban maintenance challenges, including pavement defects (resolved July 2020), a burnt-out streetlight (repaired August 2019), and multiple reports of abandoned vehicles between 2019-2022, though all vehicles were gone upon officers' arrival. While these external issues impact the general area around the building, they don't directly affect the building's internal conditions or systems. The property's maintenance records show regular upkeep through permitted work, with most significant building issues resolved through proper channels, though the unauthorized siding replacement and 2018 ceiling collapse were notable exceptions.

Risk rating

How 315-317 29Th 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
54thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1035 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
