Rent & eviction protection

Is 130-132 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 1906

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 1906
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 Kavanagh Family Trust owns this three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located at 130-132 Carl Street in Parnassus/Ashbury Heights, constructed in 1906. The property has undergone several significant improvements and repairs over the past decade, with the most recent work being a $21,000 reroofing project initiated in January 2025. Between 2017 and 2023, the building received substantial upgrades including the replacement of eight windows in 2017, repairs to the rear stairway for second means of egress compliance in 2017, and siding improvements to the west elevation in 2023. A notable safety concern arose in late 2022 when a resident reported an accessibility issue caused by an outward-swinging door blocking stairs, which was addressed and abated by January 2023. The building has a history of maintenance and compliance issues from 2002-2003, including violations related to gas utility shutoff tools, egress obstruction, and various plumbing and electrical concerns, all of which were subsequently resolved.

The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, including plumbing work in 2015 for gas pipe repairs and multiple routine housing inspections. Recent building inspection complaints (2022-2023) included reports of blocked exits, though most recent complaints have been resolved. External issues primarily documented through 311 calls have included sidewalk concerns, general cleaning matters, and occasional graffiti, with the most significant being reports of collapsed sidewalk conditions in 2021. The building's permit history demonstrates ongoing investment in maintenance and improvements, including compliance with various violation notices and the establishment of a permitted Cottage Food Operation as an accessory use. The property has maintained active compliance with housing regulations since resolving previous violations, with recent building modifications focusing on accessibility, safety, and energy efficiency improvements.

Risk rating

How 130-132 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
9thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 479 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
