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 1980
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 627 25th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Lee Living Trust, has undergone some significant maintenance work and has experienced a few notable issues over the past decade. Most recently, in November 2024, the property was permitted for a $14,000 reroofing project involving torch work, which represents an important infrastructure upgrade for the 2-story, 2-unit structure built in 1980. Of particular concern to resident welfare, there was a documented incident of mold and mildew in February 2021 that required intervention from the Department of Public Health's Community Health Network, though the case was closed with an administrative notation indicating it may have been addressed through other means.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to basic upkeep, with multiple 311 calls related to general cleaning of the street and sidewalk area outside the property between 2010 and 2019. These calls, occurring in 2014, 2019, and another in 2019, were primarily focused on loose garbage issues, with most being resolved either through inspection or administrative closure. A separate issue regarding utility billing was recorded in November 2010, though this appears to be related to customer service rather than a building-related matter. While the mold incident in 2021 is the most significant resident health-related matter on record, it should be noted that many of the reported issues pertain to street cleanliness rather than building conditions directly.

Risk rating

How 627 25Th 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
88thpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 270 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
