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 1991
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 at 1660-1664 48th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by Maura Duffy, was constructed in 1991 following a series of significant modifications to the original structure. The property underwent comprehensive changes in 1989 including both horizontal and vertical additions, and a sprinkler system was installed in 1991 to enhance safety features. The building's maintenance record shows attention to structural upkeep, most notably with a $15,500 reroofing project completed in 2021. However, there have been recurring sewer issues, with two documented sewage backup incidents (in April 2022 and most recently in January 2024) involving a 4-inch sewer vent that required attention from PUC Sewer Operations. The property has undergone regular housing inspections, with routine inspections in 1999 and 2002 showing compliance with housing standards.

Recent activities around the property have primarily involved external maintenance and parking-related incidents. In 2023, there was a service request related to an unpermitted planter box placement near the curb, and there have been several parking enforcement actions, including citations for vehicles blocking driveways and one instance of sidewalk parking in 2022. The building's historical records (dating back to 1988) show that a demolition attempt for an earlier apartment building was withdrawn, leading to the current structure's construction with documented approvals for facade changes and building additions. While the property has maintained basic safety and habitability standards, the recurring sewer issues and periodic parking challenges in the vicinity are notable aspects of the building's recent history.

Risk rating

How 1660-1664 48Th 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
56thpercentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 278 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
