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 1987
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 multi-family residential building at 426 24th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1987 following the demolition of a single-family dwelling in March of that year, with Man Lap & May T Louie Family as the current owners. The three-story structure has undergone several notable modifications and maintenance work over its lifetime, including a significant interior renovation in 2001 that added an inside stairway from apartment A to the basement along with new living spaces and facilities. More recent improvements include a reroofing project completed in 2009 and a furnace replacement in Unit 3 in 2021. While the building's maintenance record generally shows attention to infrastructure upkeep, there have been some recent neighborhood concerns noted through 311 calls, including two instances of abandoned furniture and a mattress reported in July and October 2024, though these were street-level issues not directly related to the building's condition. A water quality-related inquiry was made to the PUC in March 2021, and there was an incident of graffiti on or near the property reported in 2017, which was determined to be outside PG&E's jurisdiction. An electrical permit from 2003 for a renewed final inspection indicates an effort to complete previously initiated electrical work, though it appears to be relatively old compared to the building's current condition and systems.

Risk rating

How 426 24Th 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
74thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 585 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
