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 four-story multi-family residential building at 562-564 38th Avenue in the Outer Richmond, owned by Tomiko Nojima Revoc Tr 1997, has undergone consistent maintenance and improvements since its construction in 2001. The property has received several significant updates in recent years, including comprehensive window replacements in March 2024, siding replacement in January 2024, and a complete reroofing project in January 2023, demonstrating ongoing investment in building maintenance and modernization. The building was constructed with safety features including a fire sprinkler system installed throughout in 2001, following the demolition of an older single-family dwelling on the site in 1999.

The building's early construction period saw some modifications regarding window placements on the second and third floors, with revisions made to eliminate certain property line windows and clarify operable window installations. A planning record from 2022 indicates the installation of fiberglass windows on the street facade, with future replacements planned to match this specification. The property has experienced minimal issues from 311 reports, primarily related to street and sidewalk maintenance, with closed cases addressing pavement defects, damaged property, and general cleaning needs between 2015 and 2022. While these external issues were promptly addressed by city services, they do not directly impact the building's internal conditions or safety measures.

Risk rating

How 562-564 38Th 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
82ndpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 187 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Number of floors

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