Rent & eviction protection

Is 114-116 Carl St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1904
2 or more units

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 1904
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

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 three-story multi-family residential building at 114-116 Carl Street, located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1904 and contains 4 units. The property, currently owned by Dennis L & Mary K Reager 19, has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the past decades. Most notably, in 2016, a comprehensive electrical service upgrade was completed, incorporating a 200 amp outdoor disconnect, four outdoor-rated panels, and necessary bonding for appliances. Earlier improvements included plumbing work in 2010 when the sewer line was replaced from the house trap to the property edge, and there was an attempt to replace nine windows in 2015, though this permit was ultimately cancelled. Historical records show routine housing inspections were conducted and abated in 1998, 2005, and 2010, with no active complaints on record.

The property has experienced various maintenance and environmental challenges in recent years, particularly from 2021 to 2024. Most incidents relate to exterior maintenance and street-level concerns, including multiple graffiti incidents (most recently in August 2024), illegal postings, and sidewalk clearing issues. There have been several general cleaning requests and street maintenance matters requiring attention, with the most recent being a garbage and debris complaint in October 2024. The building's infrastructure appears to be maintained within regulatory requirements, with completed permits for major system upgrades. The pattern of recent complaints suggests ongoing attention to exterior maintenance and public space management is required, though these issues primarily affect the surrounding area rather than the building's internal systems or structure.

Risk rating

How 114-116 Carl 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
27thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 384 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
