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 1982
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 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 6504-6506 3rd Street in Bayview Heights, owned by Ekeh Innocent E & Agatha E, has experienced ongoing maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1982. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple complaints and repair requests between 2018 and 2024, including leaks affecting multiple units, damaged ceilings, and a recent active complaint about paint peeling filed in July 2024. A significant safety concern was addressed in 2016 when a second means of egress was required to be installed, though records indicate this remained an active violation as of November 2015. The property has also faced interior maintenance challenges, including mold issues, ventilation problems, and various infrastructure concerns such as electrical wiring repairs, all of which have required multiple building permits and inspections.

The building's historical records from 2006 show several fire safety violations that were resolved, including requirements for fire extinguishers and smoke detectors. A comprehensive electrical upgrade was completed in 2003 with a 200-amp underground service conversion, demonstrating some efforts at infrastructure improvement. The property has generated multiple building complaints through Housing Inspection Services, particularly between 2018-2020, regarding various habitability issues including pest infestations, interior surface problems, and maintenance needs. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as street cleaning and parking concerns, with no immediate safety implications for residents. The building's history shows a pattern of persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water intrusion and ventilation issues, though many past violations have been addressed through permitted repairs.

Risk rating

How 6504-6506 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.

Neighborhood percentile
