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 2014
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

The two-unit residential building at 270-272 Brighton Avenue in the Ingleside neighborhood, owned by SST Investments LLC, was constructed in 2014 as a four-story type 5 structure with no basement. The building's construction, which was completed in 2014 at a cost of $920,878, included the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system with 60 sprinklers and a 2-inch fire service, representing a significant safety investment of $30,840. During the construction period, two street space permits were issued in June and October 2014, each valued at $1.

Shortly after the building's completion, a complaint was filed in September 2014 regarding unsightly conditions outside the property, specifically citing food debris, trash, and construction scrap along the fence adjacent to Ocean Avenue, as well as weed growth through the concrete. While this complaint was processed through Housing Inspection Services, its current status is listed as not active, and there is no record of further action or recurring issues. The building's recent history shows no documented complaints, violations, or permits, suggesting stable conditions since the initial construction period.

Risk rating

How 270-272 Brighton 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
99thpercentile

Out of 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 2 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
