Initial analysis

The property at 1390-1392 Rhode Island Street in Potrero Hill is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Rigney John Estate. The building is undergoing substantial renovations as of late 2024, with multiple permits issued for extensive improvements including interior renovations across multiple levels (basement, first and second floors, and attic), installation of a new rear deck, window and door modifications, and comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades. The renovation project, valued at approximately $200,000, also includes a complete re-wiring of the building with a 400-amp service upgrade and the installation of new HVAC systems for both units. An earlier drywall replacement project, excluding kitchens and bathrooms, was permitted for approximately 2000 square feet of wall surfaces.

Historically, the building has undergone several significant repairs and improvements, including termite repairs, foundation changes, and dry rot repairs in 1988, and the installation of a zero-clearance fireplace the same year. Recent complaints in August 2024 noted concerns about construction safety and permit visibility, though this issue was abated within a day. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges in the past, with multiple reports of hazardous materials (glass) on nearby streets and graffiti incidents between 2020-2021, though all these cases were resolved. Planning records indicate ongoing improvements include a new dormer addition, roof deck, and modifications to windows on the south facade, with no proposed changes to the unit count or overall building footprint.

Risk rating

How 1390-1392 Rhode Island 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.
