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 1996
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 three-story, two-unit residential building at 1790-1792 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood was constructed in 1992-1996 following the demolition of an older three-unit structure on the site. The building, owned by Koffman Fmly Lvg Tr, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years. Most recently, in 2020, the building received a reroofing project costing $9,800, while in 2018, cosmetic kitchen cabinet updates were completed on the ground floor, along with a furnace replacement and kitchen sink reinstallation. A notable incident occurred during the 2018 kitchen renovation when a noise complaint was filed regarding construction disturbance, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active." The building has received regular maintenance attention, including a balcony windscreen installation in 2012 and has properly maintained its utilities systems.

The property has experienced several infrastructure issues in the vicinity, with multiple reports of sidewalk and pavement defects in 2019, though these were public infrastructure concerns rather than building-specific issues. In 2024, there was a report of a fallen tree near the property. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of periodic roof work and general upkeep, with all building permits showing proper completion status. The property has had various 311 calls recorded for the surrounding area, primarily related to parking violations and infrastructure maintenance, though these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 1790-1792 8Th 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
92ndpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 119 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
