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 2006
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 four-unit mixed-use building at 2225-2229 Taraval Street, constructed in 2006, has experienced several notable events, most significantly a recent wind damage incident requiring repairs to the south elevation wall in November 2024, with estimated costs of $56,780. The building's maintenance history includes multiple street space permits and sidewalk repairs, and it underwent substantial electrical work during construction, including a 400-amp service installation and comprehensive wiring with multiple subpanels. A fire alarm system was installed in 2005, comprising multiple smoke detectors, horns, and strobes, with a subsequent activation reported but no fire or injuries recorded.

In early 2023, there were two complaints regarding an illegal change of use involving the conversion of a dwelling unit to commercial office space, specifically for Allstate, though one of these complaints was quickly abated. The property has faced recurring issues with street cleaning and waste management, particularly in late 2024, with numerous 311 calls regarding garbage and debris, including multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans. These sanitation issues, while not directly affecting building safety, indicate ongoing challenges with waste management in the vicinity. The building's most recent activity includes graffiti inspection (though none was found) and a general pattern of waste management concerns that have prompted multiple resolutions by various city agencies, all marked as "Closed Case Resolved."

Risk rating

How 2225-2229 Taraval 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 214 are predicted to be safer.
