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 1989
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, three-story multi-family residential building at 3127 Anza St in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Luis & Grace So 2007 Revoc, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1989. Most recently, in 2021, extensive work was performed on the building's exterior, including a complete tear-off and replacement of siding on the east upper wall and west wall, with dry rot inspections and repairs, costing $28,500. In 2014, the building complied with energy efficiency requirements by replacing 24 windows throughout the property, installing fiberglass wood-clad windows in the front and vinyl windows in the rear and side. Earlier maintenance includes reroofing work performed in 2005 and a complaint in 2014 regarding unpermitted window replacement that was ultimately resolved.

The building's history includes several fire safety violations documented in late 2002, which were all addressed by January 2003. These violations related to smoke detectors, fire escape maintenance, and combustible storage, indicating a temporary period of safety compliance issues that were promptly rectified. The property has experienced recurring neighborhood issues typical of urban areas, including multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations between 2019-2022, and various street maintenance concerns such as garbage and blocked sidewalks in 2020. A recent excessive noise complaint from December 2024 remains open. While the building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep by the owners, with several significant improvements made over the years, the property has faced periodic neighborhood enforcement issues primarily related to parking violations and street maintenance.

Risk rating

How 3127 Anza St'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
92ndpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 180 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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

Director's hearings, owner's portfolio

Escalated DBI enforcement actions across all of this owner's buildings.
