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 2018
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Likely exempt from AB 1482. Housing with a certificate of occupancy issued within the previous 15 years is exempt from the state rent cap and just-cause rules.

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 35-story multi-family residential building at 33 Tehama Street, constructed in 2018 with 403 units, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since its completion. Most notably, in 2022, the building suffered substantial water damage affecting multiple floors and systems, resulting in numerous repair projects totaling over $8 million. This water incident impacted fire safety systems, electrical systems, and various building components from levels -3 to 36, including elevator lobbies, corridors, and amenity spaces. The building's systems have faced ongoing challenges, with boiler permit compliance issues emerging repeatedly from 2022 through 2023, including recent complaints in early 2024.

The property has also faced multiple fire safety violations and concerns, with several citations issued between 2023 and 2024 regarding fire alarms, sprinkler systems, and emergency evacuation requirements. Recent complaints from 2024 indicate persistent issues, including a loud exhaust fan and various maintenance concerns. The building's electrical infrastructure has required attention, with multiple system repairs and upgrades documented through permits, including the installation of 12 EV chargers in 2022. The property has maintained active regular maintenance work, as evidenced by recent plumbing repairs including PRV replacement in March 2024 and ongoing electrical system work. While the building has experienced significant operational challenges, particularly with water damage and fire safety systems, it continues to undergo regular maintenance and repairs to address ongoing issues and maintain compliance with safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 41 Tehama 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
1th percentile

Out of 268 buildings in this neighborhood, 265 are predicted to be safer.

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.

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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 3.3%
Moderate concern 79.4%
Severe concern 17.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
