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 1988
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 located at 751-753 29th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1988, currently owned by the Jeanette Lew Revocable Trust Family. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent renovation work being a comprehensive unit upgrade in September 2024 valued at $70,000, including remodeling of two bathrooms and one kitchen, along with associated electrical and plumbing updates. This follows a pattern of consistent maintenance and improvements, particularly regarding window replacements, with recent work in 2021 involving the installation of 16 new energy-efficient windows (U-factor <0.30) throughout the building, including 12 street-facing units. Earlier improvements include a water heater replacement in 2013 and various window updates, including a 2014 project replacing 11 windows.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, particularly sidewalk parking, with multiple citations issued between 2022 and 2024, though some incidents could not be validated by responding officers. A noise complaint regarding amplified sound was recorded in August 2020, and there was one fire complaint in June 2019 which was determined to have no merit. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts by the ownership, with no significant safety concerns or building code violations noted in recent years. The most substantial recent investment in the property, the 2024 unit renovation, demonstrates ongoing commitment to property maintenance and improvement.

Risk rating

How 751-753 29Th 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
83rdpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 382 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
