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 1993
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

This two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building, constructed in 1993 and currently owned by the Prince Family Revoc Trust, has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime. The property was expanded with a horizontal addition in 1992 costing $70,000, followed by a series of interior upgrades including kitchen remodeling in 2001 ($20,000) and lighting installations in 2002. More recent infrastructure updates include the installation of an 80% efficient furnace in 2020 and a 40-gallon water heater in 2019, though the water heater permit eventually expired without documentation of completion.

The building has experienced recurring issues with driveway blockage, particularly between 2019 and 2025, with multiple enforcement actions taken, resulting in at least five citations being issued. The most recent such incident occurred in January 2025. Other incidents have primarily resulted in either the citing of vehicles or officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. The property's history also includes one documented emergency medical service incident involving no civilian injuries, though no details are provided about the nature or location of the service.

Risk rating

How 1746 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
93rdpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 105 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
