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 1990
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 property at 558-560 3rd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1990, currently owned by Stephen Mark & June Yee Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years, with the most recent work in July 2022 addressing dry rot issues in the entryway stairs at a cost of $6,500. This building has experienced recurring issues with its exterior stairs, requiring multiple repairs including a 2007 replacement with granite and stone materials, and earlier concerns about dangerous demolition work without proper permits in July 2022. Major infrastructure work includes a water pipe replacement to the garage area in 2008 and reroofing in 2006.

The building's history includes a series of routine safety inspections revealing various safety code violations in December 2004, which were resolved by March 2005, including issues with emergency exits, smoke detectors, fire escape ladders, and egress obstructions. There was also an unauthorized construction complaint about an in-law unit in 2002 that was promptly addressed. More recent concerns, though not directly related to building safety, include multiple complaints about parking violations and graffiti in the surrounding area between 2021 and 2024, and some noise complaints related to illegal parking enforcement. The property has maintained regular compliance with housing inspections since 2005, with no active violations on record.

Risk rating

How 558-560 3Rd 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
20thpercentile
