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 2002
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 101-unit multifamily residential building at 150 Berry Street, known as Rich Sorro Commons, is a Mission Bay property developed by Mission Housing Development Corporation and built in 2002. The five-story structure has undergone numerous improvements and maintenance activities over the past several years, with the most recent work including a September 2024 project to change occupancy types and improve exterior play yard accessibility for $10,000. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events, including notable elevator issues in 2018 when complaints emerged about frequent breakdowns and expired permits. There has been recurring concern regarding building systems, with HVAC installations occurring in 2016 ($28,000) and 2022 ($264,500), as well as multiple fire safety violations in recent years. Notably, there is currently an open fire violation from December 2023 related to sleeping area requirements, and historical violations involving alarm systems, fire extinguishers, and blocked exits between 2018 and 2023. The building also faced a heat outage complaint in February 2020, and there have been periodic complaints about construction noise and system maintenance.

The property has undergone various improvements, including recent infrastructure upgrades such as new HVAC systems, electrical work, and plumbing modifications. Notable historical violations included issues with a hydronic boiler and backflow installation in 2007, though these were eventually resolved. The building's fire safety systems have been a particular focus, with multiple violations and complaints regarding alarm systems and extinguishers between 2018 and 2023, including a December 2023 violation that remains open. In terms of recent activity, there have been several 311 calls in January 2025 regarding garbage, debris, and sidewalk blockages near the property, though these are primarily related to public space maintenance rather than building-specific issues. The property has a documented tenant buyout from July 2020 involving two tenants and a payment of $15,250.

Risk rating

How 150-152 Berry 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
70thpercentile

Out of 20 buildings in this neighborhood, 6 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.

Building size

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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
