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 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 474-476 25th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Simon Wong, was constructed in 1987 following the demolition of a single-family dwelling in 1985. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a complete window replacement in 2016 with energy-efficient wood-clad Milgard windows (cost: $20,000), reroofing in 2012 (cost: $9,600), and furnace replacement in 2013 with a new 80% efficient Trane furnace. In March 2017, the building was subject to routine housing inspections that identified compliance issues related to smoke/CO alarms and building code requirements, though these violations were abated by April 25, 2017.

More recent maintenance activities include a street space permit issued in 2019, though at minimal cost. The property has experienced some maintenance issues in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding pavement defects in early 2017, and isolated incidents such as graffiti removal and waste cleanup in 2021. Historical complaints include a 1998 issue regarding a locked back door and another routine inspection in 2000, both of which were resolved. The building's planning records indicate a proposed variance for off-street parking related to adding a new dwelling unit that was disapproved.

Risk rating

How 474-476 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
84thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 360 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
