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

The three-unit, 1982-built multi-family residential building at 480 22nd Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond district, currently owned by the Lee Revocable Trust, has undergone several notable improvements and modifications over the years. The property underwent significant renovations in 2009, including substantial interior reconfigurations across all three stories involving bathroom relocations and the addition of new rooms, supported by corresponding electrical and plumbing upgrades for kitchens and bathrooms. The building received new roofing in mid-2009 at a cost of $7,950, followed by rear-side siding work in 2010. A street space permit was issued in June 2009, coinciding with the formal verification of three dwelling units at the property, including separate addresses for 480, 480A, and 480B.

The building's violations and complaints history shows several issues in 2003 and 2008, though all have been resolved. In 2003, there were fire safety concerns including the need for fire extinguisher servicing and sprinklers over garbage receptacles, all of which were abated by March 2003. The 2008 complaint regarding unauthorized restaurant-related food preparation in the garage was investigated and resolved by June 2008. Recent records primarily show external issues such as parking violations and street cleaning concerns, with the most recent incident being a driveway blocking complaint in August 2024. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with significant investment in major systems like roofing and electrical infrastructure around 2009, which appears to have addressed many of the property's earlier deficiencies.

Risk rating

How 480 22Nd 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
83rdpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 382 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
