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 2002
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 1633 Newcomb Avenue in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 2002 and owned by Leonard Wong & Lee Marie. The building's construction was permitted in December 2000 at a cost of $550,000, with plans for a three-story structure featuring a two-car garage and social room on the ground floor, and two three-bedroom units above. More recently, significant maintenance work was performed in September 2022, with a $30,000 reroofing project that has been completed. The property underwent an electrical service upgrade in 2009, converting from overhead to underground service with a 200-amp main installation, though this permit has since expired.

Of particular note is a pattern of parking-related issues near the property, with a significant cluster of complaints registered between December 2024 and January 2025. During this period, there were multiple reports of illegal parking, sidewalk parking, and driveway blocking, with at least three citations issued, though enforcement officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles in several instances. While these parking disturbances are not directly related to the building's condition or management, they may impact the overall neighborhood environment. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with the most recent major work being the roofing project in 2022, and no recorded safety or habitability concerns in the available data up to October 2023.

Risk rating

How 1633 Newcomb 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.

Neighborhood percentile
91stpercentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 34 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
