Rent & eviction protection

Is 84-98 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 1909

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 1909
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 84-98 Carl Street, owned by Henry Slamovich Tr-2003, was constructed in 1909 and contains 6 units. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a voluntary fire alarm system replacement in 2023 that included mandatory low-frequency sounder upgrades, though it's important to note that the building is non-sprinklered. Other substantial work includes a kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2022, electrical rewiring of one apartment, and various plumbing upgrades including a main service replacement in 2017 and the installation of a tankless water heater in 2016. The building completed its soft-story retrofit work, achieving Tier 4 compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

The property has had some concerning incidents, including a 2022 complaint regarding potential lead paint hazards during renovation work, and a significant plumbing issue in 2004 involving deteriorated exterior drainage infrastructure. A building complaint from February 2023 regarding an unpermitted new sign for the flower shop is currently listed as active. While routine inspections have generally shown compliance, there was an incident in 2011 involving a back stairway separation that required attention. The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleaning and maintenance in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent months, primarily related to garbage and debris, though these are external to the building itself. Recent improvements indicate ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building systems, though the non-sprinklered status and the active sign complaint are worth noting from a safety and compliance perspective.

Risk rating

How 84-98 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
14thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 452 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
