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 1992
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

206 Judah Street is a 12-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1992 and currently owned by Powerscourt Properties. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent work completed in August 2024 involving repair of dryrot and replacement of all street-visible windows, plus updates to the building's siding ($110,000). The property has maintained its safety systems through regular upgrades, including a 2022 installation of a new fire alarm system with low-frequency sounders and horn/strobes, and a 2017 backflow preventer replacement. Historical records show the installation of a fire sprinkler system in 1990, followed by various life safety and infrastructure improvements such as an elevator installation (2005/2006) and roof replacement (2008). The building experienced two main safety concerns in its early years: a smoke detector issue in 2002 and an unauthorized elevator installation in 2005, both of which were promptly addressed and resolved.

The property has a documented history of environmental maintenance issues, particularly in recent months, with multiple 311 calls (eight in total) regarding garbage and debris on the street between September and December 2024, though these were primarily related to public spaces rather than building-specific concerns. A light fixture was repaired in September 2024, and there was one case of graffiti in October 2024 that was investigated but no graffiti was found. These recent maintenance issues have been systematically addressed through regular city services, though they do indicate an ongoing concern with street-level cleanliness in the immediate vicinity of the building. The building's overall maintenance history shows regular attention to both building systems and general upkeep, with no active violations or unresolved complaints currently on record.

Risk rating

How 206 Judah 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
9thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1359 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

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
