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 2007
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

322 Alemany Boulevard, a 4-story multi-family residential building in Bernal Heights, was constructed in 2007 with an original permit for 3 units. Since then, the building has undergone several unauthorized modifications, most significantly the creation of additional units without permits. A 2022 city task force inspection revealed the building had been converted from 3 to 7 units, including unauthorized modifications such as additional kitchens, bedrooms, and partition walls, as well as improper fire safety features. The building has been the subject of multiple violations regarding fire safety, including a 2022 violation for the lack of fire sprinklers over garbage receptacles and various 2019 fire-related issues including egress problems. Recent building permits show efforts to rectify some of these issues, including a voluntary fire escape retrofit completed in October 2023 and backflow assembly installation completed in 2024. Historical records indicate the original construction included fire sprinklers and electrical systems, but various permits issued and withdrawn between 2002 and 2022 show ongoing attempts to address unauthorized modifications and unit legalization.

The property has experienced multiple code enforcement actions, with several active complaints as of 2024 regarding plumbing violations and unauthorized unit modifications. A 2019 complaint highlighted various maintenance issues including inoperable smoke alarms and egress problems. The building's history shows consistent efforts to address unauthorized modifications and safety violations, with recent work focusing on bringing the building into compliance with current codes. The most recent completed work involves fire safety improvements and system upgrades, though historical records indicate ongoing concerns regarding unit configuration and safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 322 Alemany Blvd'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
