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 2018
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Likely exempt from AB 1482. Housing with a certificate of occupancy issued within the previous 15 years is exempt from the state rent cap and just-cause rules.

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

Located in Noe Valley, 2025 Castro Street is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 2018 and currently owned by Shashikala A Apte Tr. The property underwent significant renovation between 2013-2016, which included the addition of a third level with roof deck, full structural upgrades, interior remodeling, and the installation of fire sprinklers on the new third floor. The building's infrastructure was comprehensively updated during this period, with complete plumbing renovations including new bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry facilities, as well as electrical system upgrades including a 200 Ampere underground conversion and residential elevator installation.

Recent maintenance on the building has primarily focused on facade preservation, with two permits issued in 2021 and 2022 for rain screen replacement work totaling $30,000. The building has remained active with service calls, including a recent electrical wiring project for bedroom improvements in April 2024, and has had several 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to sidewalk maintenance and street cleaning issues. The property has demonstrated regular upkeep and infrastructure maintenance over the years, with completed permits showing attention to both safety features (e.g., fire sprinklers) and modern amenities (e.g., radiant heating, condensing boiler system). The most recent construction activity and permits relate to minor modifications rather than major structural changes, suggesting the building's primary improvements were completed during the initial renovation period.

Risk rating

How 2025 Castro 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
93rdpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 132 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
