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 2016
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 32-story, 412-unit multi-family residential building at 280 Beale Street, completed in 2016 and owned by Block 6 Joint Venture LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2022, the building underwent extensive plumbing work valued at $3 million to replace PEX piping throughout residential units, following a complaint about unpermitted plumbing work, with additional related plumbing work continuing into 2024. The building has faced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple Fire Code violations recorded between 2021 and 2024, including violations related to sleeping area requirements and alarm system maintenance, with the most recent violation from April 2024 still listed as open. The property has experienced several false fire alarms due to malfunctioning equipment, though there have been no civilian injuries reported from these incidents.

Recent improvements to the property include rooftop fire pit installations and various tenant improvements, including work on both residential and retail spaces (notably for a Starbucks and Bank of America). The building has also experienced some community issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris on nearby streets in January 2025, though these are external to the building itself. Several illegal short-term rental complaints have been filed and subsequently resolved, indicating previous unauthorized use of residential units.

Risk rating

How 299 Fremont 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.
