Yeah, those garages at CCM have pretty low clearance...funny that you say that because I also saw that the other garage on Filmore that its getting apartments on top also has very low clearance for a garage (6'-8" if I can see that correctly). That's the one problem with retrofitting those older garages, is that they typically have very low head heights that wouldn't pass code these days, and there is usually nothing they can do about it short of some very extensive structural mitigation work, which isn't very feasible. It's just something they have to live with.
