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 two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 327 25th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1988 and has undergone several significant modifications since its completion. Most notably, in 2014, substantial improvements were made including the addition of a bathroom and exercise room on the first floor, which was accompanied by the installation of four additional fire sprinklers and associated infrastructure, with a total estimated project cost of $22,000. The building's original construction included proper fire safety measures, as evidenced by the completion of sprinkler installation permits in 1986-1987. A routine housing inspection in October 2002 revealed several safety concerns that were subsequently addressed by December 2002, including the need for smoke detectors in the lobby, self-closing devices at exterior doors, and recharging fire extinguishers - all of which were successfully abated.

The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure and safety requirements, with no active violations or complaints on record since 2008. External to the building itself, there have been occasional reports regarding the surrounding area, including graffiti on the sidewalk (2020), pavement defects (2011, 2017), and issues with waste receptacle management (2010), though these were external matters not directly related to building maintenance. The most recent permitted improvements to the property demonstrate ongoing investment in enhancing the building's amenities and safety features, particularly through the 2014 modernization work.

Risk rating

How 327 25Th 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
87thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 292 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
