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 2003
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

1425-1427 9th Avenue is a modern three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 2003, containing two units with comprehensive amenities including an elevator and full fire sprinkler system. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its lifetime, with the most recent major work occurring in 2022 involving repairs to water-damaged decks and replacement of leaky windows and sliding doors on the building's front elevation, costing approximately $20,000. Prior to this, in 2011, the building underwent siding replacement work, and during its construction phase in 2001-2002, there were challenges including the need to modify foundation plans to avoid underpinning adjacent buildings.

The building's early years (2000-2001) were marked by several serious safety concerns, including structural issues with the back porch, deteriorated flooring, and various maintenance violations such as blocked egress pathways and plumbing problems, though all these violations were officially abated by July 10, 2001. More recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, with a construction-related complaint in October 2022 regarding noise levels and a 2020 complaint about unauthorized work during COVID-19 restrictions. The property underwent permit-approved window and door replacements as recently as 2023, demonstrating ongoing maintenance efforts by the current ownership. While there have been various service requests and reported issues over the years, including graffiti and parking matters, these have generally been addressed through normal municipal channels.

Risk rating

How 1425-1427 9Th 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
37thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 941 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
