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 1982
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 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 362 26th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Raymond & Virginia Wong Lvg, was constructed in 1982 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related interventions over its lifetime. The most pressing current concern involves multiple active building violations from a February 2003 routine inspection, including miscellaneous building violations and smoke detector requirements in the lobby, though some of these violations show as abated by March 2003. The building has received appropriate maintenance attention, including underpinning work at the south property line wall in 2005 ($15,000) and window replacement in 2004. Historical records show a reroofing project completed in 1999, and several routine inspections have been conducted, with the most recent one in 2008. The property has experienced some parking-related issues in recent years, with three documented incidents of driveway blocking between 2020 and 2022, all resulting in citations. Recent external maintenance issues have been minimal, with the most recent interaction involving loose garbage in January 2023, which was promptly resolved by Recology. The building's permit history and violation records suggest regular maintenance and response to identified safety concerns, though the persistent nature of some historical violations warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 362 26Th 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
83rdpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 382 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
