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 residential building at 322-324 5th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by 12th Avenue Land Co LLC, was constructed in 1991 following the demolition of a previous apartment building in 1990, with all major construction and safety systems including sprinklers being completed according to the records. The building has undergone several safety inspections over the years, with notable violations recorded in February 2016 that were subsequently abated by March 2016, including issues with gas utility shutoff tools, unit identification numbers, smoke enclosure doors, carbon monoxide alarms, and emergency exit lights in public areas. A more recent concern was raised in November 2024 regarding roof drainage and mosquito infestation, which has been referred to the Plumbing Inspection Division for investigation.

The property has experienced some maintenance and compliance challenges over its history. In 2012, there was a complaint about an allegedly illegal unit behind the garage, though this was resolved within days. There was also a cooking-related fire incident recorded, though it was contained with no civilian injuries. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety requirements and code compliance, with several routine inspections performed in 1999, 2004, and 2016. While there have been multiple parking enforcement calls regarding driveway blocking near the property (most recently in 2024), these are external to the building's condition. The property has consistently been identified as a three-unit multi-family residential building, with no current active violations or complaints on record as of October 2023, though the recent mosquito issue from late 2024 is pending investigation.

Risk rating

How 322-324 5Th 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
