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 11-unit residential building at 3298 25th Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Mhdc Esperanza-colosimo Lp and constructed in 1982, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with particular concern over security and maintenance systems. Most significantly, there have been recurring problems with the building's intercom/door entry system, with two separate Notices of Violation filed in October and December 2023, both documenting non-functioning entry systems and leading to a classification of the property as a nuisance under San Francisco Housing Code Section 1001(d). Additional serious concerns include a significant plumbing issue in January 2023 involving water leakage from the ceiling that posed potential electrical hazards and occurred before management response was received.

The building's inspection and violation history over the past seven years shows a total of 17 Notices of Violation, 4 Department of Building Inspection complaints, and 53 311 service requests, with the most recent incidents primarily occurring in 2023. While some complaints and service requests have been resolved, including issues with common areas and security concerns, the pattern of recurring violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has also recorded two fire incidents in the past seven years. Recent service requests include typical urban maintenance issues such as debris removal and graffiti, with the most recent case regarding a large vehicle being accepted for investigation in July 2026.

Risk rating

How 3298 25Th 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

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.
