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 1987
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 345 3rd Street property, located in the Financial District South and owned by Archstone South Market LLC, is a 9-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1987 containing 411 units. The building has undergone significant fire safety system upgrades recently, with multiple permits issued between 2023-2024 for improvements to the fire alarm system, including new notification appliances, speakers, and remote power supplies. In December 2022, substantial renovations were completed to convert office space into 8 residential units. The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with several violations and complaints in 2024 related to sleeping area requirements, sprinkler systems, and alarm systems, though many have been marked as resolved or abated. Recent tenant complaints indicate persistent maintenance challenges, including heating system failures (February 2024), water leaks and mold issues (2024), and construction noise concerns (August 2024).

The property has also received attention for plumbing and electrical upgrades, with numerous permits issued in late 2024-early 2025 for washer/dryer installations and electrical system improvements in multiple units. Several fire safety violations remain open as of 2024, including concerns about sleeping area requirements and sprinkler system maintenance. The building underwent a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2023-2024, addressing various fire safety deficiencies identified in previous inspections. Historical records show the building faced multiple fire safety violations in 2016 that were abated, and more recent complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance.

Risk rating

How 345 3Rd 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.
