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 55-unit, five-story multi-family residential building at 3101 Mission St in Bernal Heights was constructed in 2000 and is currently owned by Bernal Gateway 2 LP. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced some notable incidents over the past few years. Most recently, in early 2025, there were multiple reports of garbage and debris issues around the property, with several cases of overflowing city garbage cans and abandoned items. In November 2024, a waterproofing project for the center patio planters was permitted at a cost of $30,000. The building experienced a serious incident in May 2021 when a car crashed into the storefront, causing damage to windows, doors, and some metal framing, though residential units above were reportedly unharmed. This prompted repairs costing over $35,000 and involved both structural and security system fixes. During 2020-2021, the building underwent significant safety upgrades, including a complete fire alarm system replacement in early 2021 that involved installing new detectors, pull stations, horn/strobes, and low-frequency horns in units to meet updated code requirements. Several boiler permit violations were noted between 2018-2020, though these were resolved by 2021.

The property has seen substantial maintenance and upgrade work, including roofing replacement, accessibility improvements, and mechanical system upgrades as part of a $2.5 million renovation project completed in 2019. Recent mechanical improvements include the installation of a new ductless air conditioning system in 2022 and various plumbing upgrades, such as the addition of solar thermal water heating components in 2020. The building's emergency systems have received regular attention, with multiple fire alarm system maintenance records showing prompt resolution of any issues. While the building has had several fire-related incidents recorded (mostly cooking-related or system malfunctions), none resulted in civilian injuries. The property has faced some maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple housing inspections noting issues with interior surfaces, flooring, and ventilation systems, though these complaints were generally addressed within a reasonable timeframe.

Risk rating

How 3101 Mission 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
0thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 1276 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
