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 221-223 Dorado Terrace in Mount Davidson Manor, owned by the Shuen Family Trust of 04-08, was constructed in 1991 and is classified as a flats and duplex building. It has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2012 costing $6,500, and a substantial ground floor addition in 2009 that included a family room, bedroom, and bathroom, with associated plumbing and electrical work completed in 2009-2010. The building was originally developed as a three-story, two-unit residential structure in 1989, and various safety features were installed during construction, including fire sprinklers, though historical planning records show earlier applications that ultimately expired.

The property has experienced several fire safety-related incidents in recent years, with violations issued in 2023 regarding sprinkler systems (which was later abated) and sleeping area requirements (currently open). Other fire safety complaints in 2023-2024 were determined to have no merit, including issues with extinguishers and blocked exits. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with notable improvements including the 2009 basement renovations that involved new waterlines, sewer connections, and electrical rewiring. External maintenance records show occasional street cleaning interventions, including the removal of Christmas trees in 2022 and a resolved damaged tree complaint in 2017. Recent parking enforcement activity was recorded in July 2023 regarding a blocked driveway, though this case was ultimately deemed invalid due to incomplete reporting information.

Risk rating

How 221-223 Dorado Ter'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
46thpercentile

Out of 26 buildings in this neighborhood, 14 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
