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 1982
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

7221 Geary Blvd is a 3-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1982 and currently owned by Robert C. Seid Jr. and Hellena. The building has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements over the past decade, most notably a comprehensive fire system upgrade in 2021-2022 that included a new panel, low-frequency horns, and modern safety features to meet current codes. Other major maintenance work includes a complete window replacement in 2013 (39 windows), re-roofing projects in 2014 and 1994, and the removal of an illegal apartment in 2004 which had prompted serious safety concerns including insufficient egress and heating systems. Following the 2004 violation, the building's compliance history shows no further major infractions relating to building safety or habitability standards.

The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues near the building, particularly in 2018-2020, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking and illegal parking, primarily involving a gray Subaru WRX. There were also some reports of sidewalk parking in 2019-2020. More recently, there was a garbage-related complaint in August 2024 that has been resolved. The building's maintenance record since 2004 shows regular attention to building systems and infrastructure, with particular focus on fire safety upgrades to comply with current regulations, suggesting an active property management approach to maintaining safety requirements. The most recent significant building improvement was the completion of the fire alarm system upgrade in 2022, demonstrating commitment to keeping safety systems current.

Risk rating

How 7221 Geary Blvd'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
86thpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 146 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building size

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
