Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1000 Carolina Street in Potrero Hill, owned by James M Rodriguez, has undergone significant infrastructure improvements in recent years. In 2024, major electrical upgrades were completed, including a full apartment rewire and removal of outdated knob-and-tube wiring, along with a service upgrade from 30A to 200A that benefits both 1000 and 1002 Carolina Street. The plumbing systems have also been systematically updated, with the most recent work being a water heater replacement in October 2024, following a waterline replacement in 2017 and a sewer line replacement in 2010.

The property has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure issues over the years, particularly related to water systems, with documented incidents of water leaks in 2016 and 2020, as well as sewer issues and flooding incidents in 2018. The building's immediate vicinity has seen various municipal service calls, including street cleaning, a faded no-parking sign repair, and shrubbery maintenance, all of which were resolved. A significant event occurred in January 2024 when a tenant buyout took place at the adjacent 1002 Carolina Street unit for $60,000. More recently, in January 2025, a fire complaint related to Shared Spaces was investigated and deemed to have no merit. The property's maintenance record shows regular upgrades to essential systems, particularly in the past year, suggesting proactive management of the building's infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1000 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, 436 are predicted to be safer.
