Rent & eviction protection

Is 245-247 Dorado Ter rent-controlled?

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 245-247 Dorado Terrace, owned by George K Ishikata, was constructed in 1991 and is classified as a two-story flats and duplex structure. Most recently, in 2022, significant remodeling work was completed at unit 247, including updates to one kitchen and two bathrooms with associated plumbing and electrical modifications, at a cost of $36,000. This renovation sparked several complaints from neighbors between April and July 2022, including concerns about unpermitted work, a problematic water shutoff schedule during the remodel, and allegations of work extending beyond the scope of permitted activities. Though these complaints were marked as "Not Active," one complaint regarding an alleged illegal in-law unit remains "Active" as of October 2023.

The building's earlier history includes various permitted improvements, such as a bedroom and bathroom addition in 1993, water heater replacement in 2011, and the original construction of the two-family dwelling in 1989, which included the installation of fire sprinklers. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues on the surrounding grounds, with multiple 311 calls in recent years regarding loose garbage and tree maintenance between 2018 and 2023. The most recent building permit activity occurred in July 2022, while earlier permit applications from 1989 and 1991 had expired. The building has been operated as a multi-family residential property, and previous planning records indicate consideration for building a two-unit condominium on the site, though this status is now shown as closed.

Risk rating

How 245-247 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
3rdpercentile

Out of 26 buildings in this neighborhood, 25 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
