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 1953
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 property at 4027-4031 Irving Street in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a single-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1953, featuring two dwellings on one parcel. The current owner, Howard A. Cooper, has maintained the property with several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in 2021, substantial renovations were completed including a kitchen and bathroom remodel ($36,500) with new cabinets, countertops, tiles, and fixtures, along with the installation of a new heating system, plumbing fixtures, and electrical rewiring including a new sub-panel for safety circuits. Earlier improvements include a complete reroofing in 2015 ($8,800), window and door upgrades in 2010 ($5,900), and previous roofing work in 1995 and 2003.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to essential systems, though there were three complaints in 2014 regarding unpermitted roofing work, which were subsequently addressed when proper permits were obtained. A historical complaint from 1998 about lack of heat was resolved within two weeks. More recently, there have been multiple parking-related complaints in the immediate vicinity, with ten incidents reported between 2022 and 2024, including various violations such as parking on sidewalks and blocking driveways, though these are external to the building's management and maintenance history. The most recent building improvements and regular maintenance schedule, including roofing work and window upgrades, suggest proactive property management, though potential residents should be aware of the parking enforcement activity in the area.

Risk rating

How 4027-4031 Irving 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
96thpercentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 25 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
