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 1983
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 two-unit residential building at 728 Vermont Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Anthony Joan R Ryssin Joan, was constructed in 1983 and has undergone several significant maintenance activities over its lifetime. Most notably, the building received a new roof in October 2022, with the work costing approximately $9,400, marking the first major roof work since an expired permit from December 1992. The property has experienced typical urban issues related to its location, with multiple parking enforcement cases documented between 2020 and 2024, including two recent citations in 2024 for driveway blockages and an ongoing tree maintenance issue related to overgrown branches near communication lines reported in August 2023. The building's surroundings have seen various municipal interactions, including street cleaning responses for garbage issues in 2020 and 2022, a defaced parking sign in 2022, and two noise-related complaints - one in 2018 and another related to the Outside Lands festival in August 2023, which received an official response acknowledging the festival's community contributions. Planning records indicate successful completion of a CEQA Clearance and approval of a rear yard variance for the property, though specific details about these actions are not provided in the available data.

Risk rating

How 728 Vermont 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
91stpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 65 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
