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 1006-1008 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 1976
2 or more units
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
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 1976
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 property at 1006-1008 Carolina Street is a two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building located in Potrero Hill, constructed in 1976 and currently owned by Amos & Lindsay Schallich Tr. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including comprehensive kitchen renovations in 1999 (updating cabinets, countertops, sinks, and appliances in both units), a unit connection and bathroom addition project in 1999, and recent HVAC upgrades in 2021 involving the installation of a ducted air source heat pump with associated electrical work for both roof and indoor components. A complaint was filed in June 2018 regarding the absence of roof gutters, though this issue appears to have been resolved as the complaint is currently listed as not active.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including sidewalk repairs in 2006. The building has experienced various street-level maintenance issues over the years, with multiple 311 calls reporting sidewalk cleaning needs, waste management concerns, and occasional graffiti between 2014 and 2024. Notable incidents include a sewage backup issue in December 2016 that was subsequently resolved, and a complaint about waste management practices regarding garbage toters in February 2020. The most recent service calls from November 2023 and July 2014 involved graffiti and waste-related issues, respectively, while a moving-related temporary sign request from December 2019 was properly processed. The property's maintenance record suggests regular attention to building systems and infrastructure, though there have been recurring issues related to street-level cleanliness and waste management in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 1006-1008 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
30thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 508 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
