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 2009
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 1142-1144 Plymouth Avenue in the Ingleside neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building that was constructed in 2009, replacing an existing single-story structure. The new construction followed a series of permits and approvals, beginning with demolition permits issued in September 2002, followed by foundation design revisions and completion permits, with a total construction cost of approximately $479,101 in 2007. The building was outfitted with modern amenities including seven bathrooms, flue vents, three jacuzzis, and comprehensive electrical installations involving 300 lights, 200 switches, and multiple circuits between 2005-2006.

The building's construction period was marked by one notable cluster of violations in August 2003, which were all resolved by September 2003 and included issues such as mold in a front sleeping room, a collapsed exterior exhaust flue, unsafe wood steps, electrical cord wiring concerns, deteriorated drainage pipes, and rodent infestation, along with a general sanitation complaint. These violations represent the only significant building violations on record for this property, as no further problems have been reported since their resolution. The building's maintenance history since completion has been generally uneventful, with the most recent building-related activities being routine inspections and minor adjustments. Recent 311 calls (2022-2025) have primarily concerned parking issues and occasional sanitation matters outside the building, but these are not directly related to the building's condition or habitability. The property has undergone all required discretionary reviews and received necessary environmental clearances during its development phase in the early 2000s, and all construction-related permits have been properly closed out.

Risk rating

How 1142-1144 Plymouth Ave'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
95thpercentile

Out of 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 8 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
