At the start of the new year, a mass of new state housing laws will kick in. Whether you rent or own in the North Bay, here are some of the new rules you should know about.

Rent Control Lite

Assembly Bill 1482, formally known as the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, includes an annual rent cap and various tenant protections. It was passed in October as a compromise between renters and landlords after several years of increasingly high profile political skirmishes between the groups across the state.

Ultimately, no one seems perfectly happy with AB 1482. Tenants' advocates say it's too weak and landlords tend to cringe at any restrictions of their profits. The bill goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2020 and lasts through Jan. 1, 2030.

Notably, the bill's author, San Francisco Assemblymember David Chiu, calls the new limit a rent cap, not rent control.

AB 1482 does cover more properties than were previously affectedi.e. almost no properties in parts of the state without local rent control lawsbut there are still some sizable holes in this bill.

Here are some, but not all, of the people who are not covered by AB 1482:

Homes built in the past 15 years, determined on a rolling basis, including accessory dwelling units, also known as granny units.

A duplex in which the owner occupies one of the units from the start of the rental agreement.

Condos and single-family homes, unless they are owned by a corporation, a shell company owned by a corporation or a real estate investment trust.

If you are covered, the law sets an annual limit on rent increases at 5 percent plus the increase in the cost of living or 10 percent, whichever number is lower.

Between April 2018 and April 2019, the cost of living rose by 3.3 percent across the state, according to the California Department of Industrial Relations.

That means a landlord covered by the law could increase rent by 8.3 percent this year on unit covered by the new law.

AB 1482 also extends "just cause" eviction protections to tenants covered by the bill.

A landlord can now only legally evict a tenant for the following reasons: falling behind on rent, breaching the terms of the lease and committing a criminal act on the property.

Note: This is by no means a comprehensive guide to the new law. Do your own research on the new rules for renters and landlords or contact a local advocacy organization if you have further questions.

Bay Area Central Finance Authority

Another bill by Assemblymember Chiu, AB 1487, the San Francisco Bay Area Regional Housing Finance Act, creates a regional funding organization to back housing production and related programs throughout the nine-county Bay Area.

The bill empowers two existing regional bodiesthe Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG)to put forward ballot initiatives to raise funds for housing and transportation projects.

In the past, that work has been done regionally, leading to differing patterns of development and land use across the Bay Area.

At its core, this is the latest skirmish in the Bay Area's war over "local control" of housing policy decisions.

AB 1487 and several other bills passed in 2019 came out of recommendations floated as part of the MTC-led CASA Compact, a bundle of legislative suggestions written by a committee of lawmakers, developers and nonprofit representatives from around the Bay Area.

The final CASA Compact, which includes suggested tenant protections, land-use changes and the Bay Area regional funding mechanism, was endorsed by the CASA committee in January 2019.

However, Marin County's representatives on ABAGSupervisor Dennis Rodoni and Novato Councilwoman Pat Eklundand the MTC Supervisor Damon Connolly, all voted against the compact when it came before their boards. All three cited concerns about the erosion of local control, according to coverage in the Marin Independent Journal.

Since then, many of the suggestions have been passed by state lawmakers as separate pieces of legislation.

Under AB 1487, the Bay Area Housing Finance Authority, which will be governed by the MTC's existing governing board, will be able to place regional housing bonds on the ballot and then disperse the funds throughout the nine-county Bay Area.

"A regional approach is crucial to tackling our housing crisis in the Bay Area. Our challenges are inextricably linked across our region, and we need to tackle them together," Chiu told the San Mateo Daily Journal in September.

Expect debates over "local control" to continue as they have before.

Miscellaneous

In an effort to increase housing stock across the state, politicians penned numerous new laws intended to boost housing production and protect vulnerable tenants throughout the state. We'll just cover a few here.

The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330): Written by State Senator Nancy Skinner, this law would make local governments green light certain housing developments if they meet criteria laid out in the bill. It also caps the number of public meetings about an individual proposal at a total of five.

Source of Income Protection (SB 329): This bill bars landlords from choosing not to rent to prospective tenants solely because they use Housing Choice Vouchers, the government benefits for low-income renters.

Easier ADUs (AB 68 and 69): These two bills, written by Assemblymember Phil Ting, alter the rules around the size of and locations where Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) can be built. These small, separated units, sometimes known as granny units, are thought to be a way suburban regions can increase housing density and affordability without building upwards.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command has kept tabs on Santa Clause every year, and this year, the 64th year in a row, is no different.

In addition to our day-to-day mission of defending North America, we are proud to carry on the tradition of tracking Santa as he travels along his yuletide flight path, said Gen. Terrence OShaughnessy, commander of NORAD and U.S. Northern Command. The same radars, satellites and interceptors employed on December 24 are used year-round to defend Canadian and American airspace from threats.

It all started in 1955 when a local newspaper advertisement informed children they could call Santa directly only the contact number in the advertisement was misprinted. Instead of reaching Santa, the phone rang through to the crew commander on duty, U.S. Air Force Colonel Harry Shoup, at the Continental Air Defense Command Operations Center, the predecessor to NORAD. Col. Shoup was quick to realize a mistake had been made, and assured the child he was Santa. Shoup then assigned a duty officer to continue answering calls. Thus, a tradition was born, and continued when NORAD was formed in 1958. Each year since, NORAD has reported Santas location on Dec. 24 to millions of children and families.

A southern Brooklyn councilmember wants more city schools to get green roofs.

Councilmember Mark Treyger, a former educator and the current chair of the councils Committee on Education, will introduce legislation Thursday calling on Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza to study the feasibility of installing a green roof on at least two schools in each of the citys 32 school districts.

According to the nonprofit Green Roofs for Healthy Cities, a green roof system is an extension of an existing roof that involves high-quality waterproofing, a drainage system and cloth filter, a lightweight growing medium and plants at least.

Green roofs, also referred to as living or eco roofs, have been known to last longer than conventional roofs, cut energy costs, absorb rain water and create peaceful retreats. They also can lead to the production of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Treyger, who represents the areas of Bensonhurst, Coney Island, Gravesend and Sea Gate, called the initiative a big deal for districts like his.

As someone who represents one of the hardest hit areas after Superstorm Sandy, I believe we have an obligation to bolster resiliency on many fronts, he told theBrooklyn EagleWednesday, ahead of his bills introduction. But on the other hand, Coney Island is also a food desert, meaning we dont have great access to fresh, healthy, affordable food. Imagine being able to turn a school project into fresh food for local residents.

YOUNGSTOWN Youngstown State University STEM college has named Kalliope Zembillas of Campbell, a senior chemical engineering major with a minor in mathematics, the STEM Intern of the Year.

The honor is given to a student who has shown a high quality of work, has demonstrated initiative, has completed presentations and has impacted the company with whom they have worked.

Zembillas' internship was at Simon Roofing Research and Development Lab, starting in the spring semester of 2019. Her main responsibility was the formulating and testing of water-based roofing coatings. Other responsibilities included developing new testing methods, streamlining old ones and data collection and analysis.

"My internship experience at Simon Roofing has helped me to prepare for my future engineering career," Zembillas said in a news release. "I learned that it's normal to have questions when you're in a new professional environment, and it is not embarrassing to ask or to admit that you do not know something. That's the only way you're going to learn."

Martin Davila, of Davila Construction, has been cited by the U.S. Department of Labors Occupational Safety and Health Administration for exposing employees to fall hazards at threeMissouri job sites.

OSHA also alleges Davila Construction violated electrical safety rules and allowed a gas can to be stored in close proximity to combustion engines. The residential roofing company is facing up to $205,098 in penalties.

OSHA said Davila Construction failed to properly train employees on how to manage safety hazards while working high above ground. The agency also said Davila Construction did not provide workers with training for safe ladder useor offer protection from pneumatic nail guns.

Davila Construction was cited in 2014 for not developing or maintaining a safety program.

Davila has 15 business days to comply, request an informal conference or dispute the findings.

Roofing businesses on the central coast see a spike in service calls following the rainy weather

It seems like the rain may be sticking around a little while longer, and that has some local businesses seeing an increase in calls for service.

The owner of Golden State Roofing says he has been experiencing three times as many calls the last couple of days with the first big rain of the season on the central coast.

"People put their maintenance or their roofing off until it rains...or leaks that they didn't have before pop up. So yeah my phone rings off the hook," said Christopher McCluskey, owner of Golden State Roofing.

It is a sentiment felt by many roofers in the area and the proverb when it rains it pours could not be closer to the truth.

"It all depends on the situation. Anywhere between 500 and 5000. You never know- it just depends on the situation... the severity of the leak and how long they've let the condition of the roof deteriorate before taking care of it," said McCluskey.

With the start of the chillier rainy season on the central coast some heating and cooling companies are also seeing a spike in calls, but not everyone.

"I have other people in the industry that they see a swing during this time of the year. So as far as my business is concerned I'd probably say more so during the summer time," said Ryan Cruz, owner of WAYCO Heating and Air Conditioning.

Repairmen say maintenance is of the utmost importance... especially when dealing with more extreme temperatures.

"Not everyone looks at their roof and they don't realize that everything they own is underneath that roof. So if people payed more attention to it- it would definitely help them out in the long run," said McCluskey.

According to one owner of a roofing business, they are always monitoring weather conditions to know when to anticipate more of those service calls.
