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 2011
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

149 Dore Street is a 5-story multi-family residential building constructed in 2011, containing 4 units and located in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, currently owned by Osa Ii Associates Llc. The building's construction and safety features were diligently implemented, with the basic structure completed in 2009 at a cost of $1.2 million, followed by the installation of comprehensive fire safety systems in 2010-2011 including sprinklers throughout the building (cost: $25,000), and a detailed fire alarm system with multiple detectors and horns (cost: $19,267). The building's infrastructure was completed with extensive electrical work in 2010, including wiring for 400A service and installation of 180 plugs and 160 lights across the units, along with plumbing installations for 10 bathrooms, 4 kitchen sinks, waste drains, and gas lines.

Recent developments at the property include the issuance of a new car charger installation permit in May 2024, reflecting modernization efforts by the current owners. The building has experienced recurring exterior maintenance issues as documented in 311 calls, primarily related to sidewalk debris and damaged sewer vent covers in 2023-2024. There have been several parking-related incidents in the vicinity, including multiple complaints about blocked driveways and one report of an abandoned vehicle in 2022-2024, though these occurred outside the building itself. While most historical planning records from 2003-2005 relate to earlier proposals for the site (including an 8-unit SRO structure that was ultimately cancelled), the current building's development was approved as a 4-unit structure with specific parking variances. The construction process appears to have been thoroughly documented, with all major safety and infrastructure requirements properly completed.

Risk rating

How 149 Dore 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

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
60thpercentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 172 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
