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 2000
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 3236-3238 Jennings Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 2000, currently owned by the Trust Of Jagdish & Sarita D. The building has a significant history of unauthorized unit conversions and safety code violations. Notably, between 2012 and 2020, there were multiple violations documented regarding an illegal ground floor unit behind the garage, which was allegedly converted into living space with improper egress, electrical, and plumbing systems. This situation resulted in several building permits being issued to rectify the unauthorized modifications, including a 2020 permit for converting the garage to a 1-bedroom unit with bathroom and kitchen facilities, and a 2021 permit for installing a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the ground floor.

Recent records indicate ongoing fire safety concerns, with multiple fire code violations being issued between 2019 and 2024, including the most recent violations in October 2024 regarding alarm systems, exit signs, and rated doors. The property has also experienced various maintenance issues, as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding painting, sewer issues, garbage collection, and parking violations in 2024. The building's history includes several concerning tenant complaints, particularly in 2021, regarding illegal units, pest control issues, and inadequate amenities. While some safety improvements have been implemented, including fire sprinkler system installations in 2021-2022 at a cost of approximately $15,000, the property continues to exhibit fire safety violations and other maintenance concerns as of late 2024.

Risk rating

How 3236-3238 Jennings 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
