300-306 Carl St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 8-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 300-306 Carl St, owned by Carl 300 LLC, has undergone significant maintenance and upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building completed a substantial electrical infrastructure upgrade, including replacing all 8 subpanels and upgrading the main service from 200 amp to 400 amp. The building has also received important structural and safety improvements, including reroofing work completed in June 2023 ($30,000) and ongoing work to replace exterior alleyway stairs with new steel stairs.

Historical records show recurring attention to stair safety, with previous repairs to address dry rot (2005) and multiple violations in 2010 related to stair repairs and handrails, all of which were subsequently abated. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges over the years, including a 2018 complaint about visible mold and window issues in a bedroom, and a 2008 complaint regarding dilapidated rear decks and stairs. In 2010, several violations were recorded related to fire safety requirements, including smoke detector installation and fire extinguisher maintenance, along with building maintenance issues such as wall painting and lead paint concerns, all of which were resolved.

The building's exterior has required regular maintenance as evidenced by the replacement of shingles on one wall in 2021 ($25,000) and multiple sidewalk and street space repairs. While the building has had periodic issues requiring attention, the recent substantial investments in electrical infrastructure and ongoing safety improvements suggest proactive management. The most recent fire incident was a false alarm (carbon monoxide detector activation) with no injuries reported.
