Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 1996 25th Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Melchor and Josefina Carrion, has undergone several significant changes since its construction in 1908. The property underwent a notable horizontal addition in 1996, followed by a revision in 1999, and successfully legalized an existing rear yard room addition under Carrion's ownership. The building has experienced four recorded fire incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries; these incidents included a contained cooking fire, a gas leak, smoke-related events, and an outside rubbish fire.

In recent months (late 2024), there has been a marked pattern of parking-related issues near the property, with multiple citations issued between September and December 2024 for various illegal parking violations, including driveway blocking and other illegal parking incidents. Additional maintenance-related incidents were recorded, including a water main break in November 2024 and graffiti on a street lamp pole that was addressed by street services. The building's location has also experienced some infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by the November 2024 water leak incident involving a fire hydrant. While these issues have been generally addressed by relevant authorities, the frequency of recent parking violations and the water main infrastructure problems in the vicinity are notable patterns in the building's recent history.

Risk rating

How 1996 25Th 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.
