Initial analysis

The property at 1068 Carolina Street in Potrero Hill is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Hartford Leezenberg Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, most recently in 2021 when 15 windows were replaced with soundproof Marvin wood casement windows. Prior enhancements include a stair and handrail replacement in 2016, and a deck addition completed in 2003 after initial unauthorized construction led to violations. The deck-related violations from September 2002, which centered around two illegally constructed 8'x8' wood decks, were resolved by July 2003 when proper permits were obtained.

The property has experienced recurring tree-related issues over the years, with multiple complaints and service requests between 2011 and 2016 regarding damaged and potentially hazardous trees, including issues with tree roots damaging sidewalks in 2012. A recent public works complaint was filed in November 2024, though the specific nature of this complaint is not detailed. The building has maintained compliance with major codes since 2003, with no active violations currently on record. A previous illegal short-term rental violation was also abated, and various infrastructure maintenance issues, including pavement defects and sprinkler system problems, have been addressed through regular city services.

Risk rating

How 1068 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.
