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 1979
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 16-18 Fairmount Street property is a multi-family residential building located in Glen Park, consisting of 3 units across 2 stories, owned by Franco & Gabriella Cirelli and constructed in 1979. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and renovation projects over the past four decades, with the most recent work focusing on exterior improvements. Currently, there are active building violations from May 2024 regarding unauthorized modifications beyond the scope of a stucco replacement project, including the removal of two street-facing balconies and replacement of patio doors and windows. This violation has resulted in monthly monitoring fees. Earlier exterior projects include a 2024 stucco replacement, a completed 2022 siding replacement on the west-facing side, and a 2004 re-roofing project. The building has also undergone interior improvements, including a 2018 kitchen and bathroom remodel valued at $35,000, and plumbing upgrades such as a bathroom renovation and kitchen sink replacement.

Historical complaints indicate some past concerns about unauthorized modifications, including complaints about an illegal ground floor unit (1999) and an unauthorized stairway construction (1997), both of which were resolved. The building's maintenance record shows attention to structural issues, with dryrot repairs to decks completed in 2004, and a hand-dug sewer replacement from the house trap completed in 2016. While there have been numerous 311 calls in recent months, these primarily relate to external issues such as sidewalk blockages, abandoned vehicles, and street cleaning matters, rather than building-specific problems. The property has experienced one recorded electrical incident involving a downed power line, but no civilian injuries were reported. The current owners have shown consistent investment in building maintenance and improvements, with recent work focused on exterior updates and compliance with building codes, although there remains an active violation under review.

Risk rating

How 16-18 Fairmount 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
9thpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 331 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
