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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 421 are predicted to be safer.
