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 1984
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 95-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 710-760 La Playa, built in 1984, has undergone numerous significant maintenance and compliance projects over recent years, with particular attention to fire safety and heating systems. Most recently, in July 2024, the building completed work to re-install a fire wall and rebuild an interior wall following a notice of violation. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple violations filed between 2022 and 2023 regarding inadequate heat provision in habitable rooms, though these were eventually abated. A substantial fire safety upgrade was completed in 2021-2022, including the installation of low-frequency sounders and replacement of the fire alarm control panel. The property has maintained active wireless communication infrastructure, with multiple antenna installations and removals documented between 2012 and 2023, including the recent decommissioning of T-Mobile antennas in September 2023.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, with significant plumbing upgrades including new hydronic boilers and water storage tanks installed in 2021-2022, along with various repairs to address plumbing violations in 2017. A major balcony renovation was undertaken in 2017, involving traffic coating replacement and waterproofing improvements. The property has experienced several periods of deferred maintenance issues, particularly in 2022-2023, with multiple violations concerning electrical outlets, floor coverings, windows, doors, and water valves. More recent complaints in 2024 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, including reports of excessive noise, illegal parking, and waste management issues outside the building.

Risk rating

How 710-760 La Playa'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
0thpercentile

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