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 1987
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 two-unit residential building at 1611-1619 Sanchez Street in Noe Valley, owned by Sidney S. Hollar, has undergone several significant changes since its construction in 1987. The property was originally a single-family dwelling before undergoing demolition in 1986, followed by the construction of the current duplex structure completed in 1987. The building has received several noteworthy improvements over the years, including a major reroofing project in December 2021 costing $24,000, and interior modifications to bedrooms and kitchen completed in 1997. More recently, planning records indicate successful approval for the conversion of the two units into condominiums, though no developer information is listed.

The property has experienced recurring issues with blocked driveways, particularly between 2019-2020, with four reported incidents requiring parking enforcement intervention. While officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles in three cases, one complaint was deemed invalid due to incomplete reporting information. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural upkeep, with the recent roof replacement representing the most substantial investment since the 1997 renovations. The property's documented history suggests proper maintenance and regulatory compliance, though the recurring parking issues in the immediate vicinity may affect resident convenience.

Risk rating

How 1611-1619 Sanchez 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
82ndpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 338 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.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
