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 1987
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 679 33rd Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Raymond & Cecilia Lee Living Trust, has a documented history spanning several decades. Originally constructed in 1987, the property underwent significant changes in early 1986 when it was demolished and subsequently rebuilt following fire damage. A notable legal compliance issue emerged in 2017 when a complaint was filed regarding unpermitted bathroom remodeling on the ground floor and questions about a potentially unauthorized third unit. This led to active building violations, including a Notice of Violation in June 2017, though the property owner began the process of legalizing the ground floor unit under Ordinance 43-14. This legalization process remains in "Filed" status as of October 2023, with a director hearing initially scheduled for July 30, 2019. The building has experienced minimal resident-impacting issues in recent years, with only two unrelated incidents involving abandoned vehicles recorded in 2019 and 2022, both of which were resolved promptly with the vehicles being gone upon inspection. The property maintains a standard two-story flat/duplex configuration consistent with its original classification.

Risk rating

How 679 33Rd 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
56thpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 458 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
