Rent & eviction protection

Is 1445-1457 La Salle Ave rent-controlled?

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 1900
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 property at 1445-1457 La Salle Ave in the Bayview neighborhood is a multi-family residential complex owned by Bayview Preservation Lp, originally constructed in 1900. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with multiple permits issued in 2024 for roof replacement across several buildings, totaling approximately $170,000 in work, as well as substantial interior unit upgrades costing $384,000. These upgrades include new kitchen cabinets, countertops, appliances, bathroom fixtures, flooring, and interior doors in multiple units. Additional recent work includes complete plumbing and electrical upgrades in units 221, 222, 321, 322, 223, 224, 323, 324, and 225-226, including new furnaces, water heaters, and light fixtures.

The building has experienced several maintenance and quality of life issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2016-2018, including heating system failures, appliance malfunctions, and sanitation concerns such as garbage accumulation and rodent infestation. A recent complaint in December 2023 regarding hot water issues was resolved by February 2024. Historical violations indicate past challenges with building systems and maintenance, though most issues from 2016-2018 were officially abated by December 2017. The property has had multiple instances of false fire alarms and system malfunctions recorded between 2009-2014, with no reported civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 1445-1457 La Salle Ave'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.
