We don't have building permits for Berkeley, so we can't show what has been permitted nearby.

Permit counts, by the date issued (or applied, if not yet issued). Lot splits are planning cases, which we don't have.

We read public zoning and hazard maps against state law (ADUs: Gov. Code 66314; SB 9: Gov. Code 65852.21 and 66411.7). Local rules, title, tenancy history and site conditions can change the answer. Check with Berkeley's planning department before relying on it.

This lot is outside mapped CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zones and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas. California insurance costs still vary widely by roof age, electrical panel, and carrier underwriting; obtain a property-specific quote rather than relying on rules of thumb.

Rental regulatory context (informational only — not legal advice):

California AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act, Civ. Code § 1947.12) caps annual rent increases at 5% + local CPI (max 10%) on covered properties. In Berkeley: Berkeley Rent Stabilization Ordinance (BMC Ch. 13.76) — annual general adjustment (65% of CPI, capped at 7%) for covered pre-1980 units. Official program rules ↗

Common statutory exemption signals under AB 1482

Housing issued a certificate of occupancy within the last 15 years (rolling exemption under AB 1482).
Separately alienable single-family homes or condominiums not owned by a corporation, REIT, or LLC with a corporate member (when required statutory notice is in the lease).
Owner-occupied duplexes where the owner occupied one unit from the start of the tenancy.
