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 2001
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 building at 219 Sixth Avenue in the Inner Richmond is a two-unit multi-family residential structure built in 2001, currently owned by Susan Feldstein. The property has undergone significant maintenance work in 2023-2024, including multiple substantial repairs and upgrades such as composite beam reinforcement, siding replacement in lightwell and back areas, re-roofing, and the installation of a solar panel system. Recent electrical upgrades have included infrastructure for a car charger and new electrical systems, while plumbing work has involved installation of new shutoff valves and deck P-traps. The building has a notable history of fire code violations, with multiple citations issued between 2017-2024, though most have been abated, with two recent open violations from November 2024 related to sprinkler obstructions and electrical work space. The property has also experienced several roofing issues, particularly in the early 2000s, when there were concerns about hanging roof tiles over the building entrance. While there were past complaints regarding unauthorized unit modifications (2003) and possible work without permits (2014), these were marked as not active. Recent maintenance records show regular upkeep, including addressing water damage and installing new fire safety equipment, though the persistent nature of fire code violations suggests ongoing compliance challenges. The building's recent permit history indicates active investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with particular attention to safety systems and renewable energy infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 219-221 6Th 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
99thpercentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 17 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.
