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 1900
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 property at 68 Vulcan Stwy in Corona Heights is a multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Michael Patton. The three-story flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant modifications over the past few decades, with the most substantial renovation occurring in 2010 involving a $350,000 project that included entrance relocation, bay window installation, deck work, and dormer modification. The building has a notable history of plumbing and electrical improvements, particularly in 2011 when multiple updates were made including shower installations, fireplace addition, radiant heating system, and comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodeling. A building complaint was filed in December 2010 regarding unauthorized deck extension work, though this issue was addressed by January 2011.

The property has maintained regular maintenance and updates through building permits, with recent street space permits issued in 2011, 2012, and 2017, suggesting ongoing attention to exterior and public space requirements. From 2018 to 2024, the area around the building has experienced various urban maintenance issues, including tree management concerns (overgrown trees, vandalism), sidewalk cleaning needs (waste removal), and street lighting problems (burned out lights). Historical records show earlier structural improvements including reroofing in 1994 and timber support modifications in 1987. The building's recent maintenance history appears focused on addressing exterior and public space concerns, as evidenced by multiple street space permits and 311 calls regarding urban maintenance issues in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 68 Vulcan Stwy'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
74thpercentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 90 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.

Building age

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

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month risk forecast
Low failure risk 13%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
