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 20-unit, four-story apartment building at 3080-3092 16th Street, built in 1990 and managed by Mission Housing Dev Corp LA, has undergone significant infrastructure improvements in recent years. In 2022, the building received major upgrades including a new roof ($128,500), installation of a solar PV system (37.35 kW), structural modifications for future PV panels, and the addition of new washer/dryer units. The building's safety systems have been a particular focus, with recent fire safety improvements including violation corrections for sprinkler/standpipe systems and alarm systems in late 2023. However, the property has faced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple violations between 2023-2024 related to sleeping area requirements, blocked exits, and system maintenance.

The building has a history of maintenance and safety concerns that have generally been addressed promptly. Past issues included elevator failures (2011), multiple fire safety violations and complaints, and a significant plumbing upgrade in 2022 involving four new boilers. Recent 311 reports from January 2025 indicate ongoing exterior maintenance challenges, including graffiti and debris issues. While the building has experienced various safety and maintenance violations over the years, most have been resolved or addressed, with the exception of some more recent fire safety violations. The property has active street-level commercial space, with past complaints regarding vibrations affecting residential units and recent complaints about unpermitted work related to the ground floor commercial space.

Risk rating

How 3080-3092 16Th 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
19thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1928 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

Number of units

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

Building size

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)
