934 Carolina St

Potrero Hill, SF 94107 4160007 3 units · 2 fl · 1958

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 934 Carolina 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 1958
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

RH2
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1958
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 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 934 Carolina Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Pagan Survivors Trust, was constructed in 1958 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, in September 2024, the building received a new modified bitumen roof covering approximately 1,700 square feet, continuing the building's established pattern of regular roof maintenance that includes previous reroofing work in 2012 and 1993. The property has seen substantial window improvements, with the replacement of 19 windows and 3 patio doors in 2011 with retrofit vinyl windows meeting modern energy efficiency standards. Electrical system upgrades were completed in 2013 with the installation of new disconnects for all units, demonstrating ongoing infrastructure maintenance.

The building's history includes a notable series of violations in February 2004, when multiple safety and security issues were identified, including problems with stairs, combustible storage, fire sprinkler requirements, and security viewer installations. However, all these violations were promptly addressed and abated by April 2004. A health and safety routine inspection in 2012 also resulted in no active violations. More recently, between May 2024 and January 2025, there have been multiple reports of garbage, debris, and illegal parking issues in the vicinity of the property, though these are primarily external neighborhood matters rather than direct building concerns. The most recent fire complaint from 2016 was determined to have no merit, and there have been no recorded tenant buyouts at this address.

Risk rating

How 934 Carolina 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
41stpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 428 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
