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 1938
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 property at 3786-3788 Cesar Chavez Street in Noe Valley is a multi-family residential building constructed in 1938, currently owned by Eric Neplokh. The building's history includes a notable incident in 2007 involving unauthorized demolition work, though this issue was promptly resolved within a week. More recently, between late 2022 and 2024, there has been a pattern of parking-related concerns, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways, including a documented tow of a Toyota Avalon in December 2022. The most recent cases from December 2024 indicate ongoing issues with abandoned furniture and debris on or near the property, with three separate reports of furniture removal required from sidewalks or streets.

The building's environment has experienced several incidents of illegal postings in mid-2023, with two separate cases requiring intervention from the Department of Public Works. A minor smoke-related incident was recorded at the property, but notably without any civilian injuries or significant damage reported. The property's record shows relatively few serious safety concerns over its history, with most recent issues relating to exterior maintenance and parking enforcement rather than structural or safety matters.

Risk rating

How 3786-3788 Cesar Chavez 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
84thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 301 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

Number of floors
