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 three-story multi-family residential building at 56-58 Manchester Street in Bernal Heights, owned by the John H O'Reilly Living Trust, was constructed in 1982 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant modifications and faced some regulatory challenges over its history. Most notably, in 1996-2002, there was an investigation and eventual resolution of an illegal unit situation involving a garage space with inadequate safety features, including only one window and no rear exit. This unit was also reported to have plumbing, toilet, and water service issues. The building underwent multiple construction projects between 1986 and 2002, including window installations, bathroom remodeling, and a significant retaining wall construction project valued at $20,000 in 2001. The most recent building improvements occurred in 2002, including bathroom remodeling and window modifications, which were ultimately completed.

The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues in recent years, with multiple complaints about illegal parking and sidewalk obstructions between 2018 and 2023, resulting in several citations. There were also two noise complaints logged in 2020, though the specific nature and impact of these incidents are not detailed in the records. A sidewalk blockage caused by privately maintained foliage was reported and resolved in January 2019. While the building's major illegal unit issues appear to have been resolved as of 2002, the recurring parking enforcement cases suggest ongoing challenges with parking management in the area. The last documented permit-related activity was from 2002, and there have been no significant building safety or habitability complaints recorded in recent years.

Risk rating

How 56-58 Manchester 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
67thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 421 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
