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 1986
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 two-unit residential building at 7039 Geary Boulevard in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Julie Buckmaster, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1986. Most notably, in 2019, substantial interior work was completed, including kitchen and bathroom modifications on the second and third floors, with associated electrical and plumbing updates costing approximately $50,000. The building's earlier history shows typical construction phase improvements in 1985 and 1986, including beam changes on floors and garage modifications. However, an active building complaint filed in January 2025 raises concerning issues about potentially illegal units, structural problems, and unauthorized work, with the report indicating the situation was last observed as recently as January 3, 2025, at 2 PM, when work was being performed by the owner. The complaint claims one of the units is structurally dangerous and should not be habitable, though this is yet to be officially resolved. The property has had various maintenance and parking-related incidents in the surrounding area, including multiple parking enforcement calls in 2023 and a few other neighborhood issues like graffiti (2012) and general cleaning needs (2022), though these are not directly related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 7039 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
