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 1990
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 8-unit multi-family residential building at 1323 Natoma Street in the Inner Mission was built in 1990 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history. Between 2016-2017, the building underwent considerable attention to multiple violations including rodent infestation, mold and mildew problems, inadequate heating, lack of smoke detectors, and general dilapidation, all of which were ultimately abated by November 2016. More recent issues include a sewer backup incident in 2020 that affected bathroom facilities and flooring, and separate complaints in 2017 regarding moldy carpet and various maintenance concerns in Unit 2. The building has experienced recurring problems with its alarm system, with violations recorded in 2014, 2017, and most recently in 2020, including a malicious false alarm incident on August 4, 2020, though this was not linked to any civilian injuries.

Recent building improvements include a reroofing project completed in 2016 at a cost of $21,000, and minor street space permits. The property has been the subject of various external complaints and issues in the surrounding area, including multiple reports of garbage and debris, and encampments near the property as recorded in 2024. While many historical maintenance issues have been resolved, the building's history shows a pattern of intermittent maintenance challenges requiring attention to basic habitability standards, particularly during the 2016-2017 period when multiple violations were documented across different categories including sanitation, fire safety, and general building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1323 Natoma 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
30thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1666 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
