Riverside and Avondale are Jacksonville's first historic districts, full of bungalows and early-1920s homes, and most calls here are for renovation of historic houses and for events on Riverside Avenue. Calls are answered 24/7, and a technician confirms the dates on the call.
Riverside's National Register district was listed in 1985 and covers about 6,870 acres with roughly 2,120 historic buildings. Avondale followed in 1989 with homes mostly from the early 1920s. Jacksonville is thought to have the largest number of bungalows of any city in Florida, largely because of Riverside, and much of that stock sits in these two districts. Restoration of a historic house is careful and slow work, and that sets the way a unit is placed and serviced.
Riverside Avenue, Park Street and King Street carry the traffic, and a unit on a historic lot has to be placed where a truck can stop without blocking the road. A hospital in Riverside evacuated patients during the river flooding of Hurricane Irma in 2017, a reminder of how close the St. Johns runs to these streets. Call (888) 351-0294 and give the street, the house or event and the expected headcount, and Jacksonville Porta Potty Rental will plan the unit from those details.
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
Historic houses are restored by crews who work room by room, and the schedule is set by the scope of the restoration rather than a fixed timetable. Framing, original windows and plaster are handled with care, and the crew may be on the same lot for many months. A unit placed for that kind of work is a long-term placement, and it is checked against the number of people on site at each stage.
Renovation here often involves the front and side yards of a historic house. The unit sits where the crew can use it without crossing a lawn that is being kept, and the homeowner or contractor confirms the spot. A technician will not place a unit where the approach would damage the lot or block the walk, and will say so when the layout offers no good position.
Riverside's National Register district covers about 6,870 acres with roughly 2,120 historic buildings, and Avondale followed with homes mostly from the early 1920s. Lots are often narrow, and the way a unit is set has to leave room for a truck, a crew and the neighbors' access. On a small lot the unit may sit closer to a house than it would on a larger site, so the placement is chosen with the layout in view.
A bungalow renovation often runs as one project with a steady crew, and its servicing follows that crew. One standard unit is typical, with an accessible unit or a handwash station added when the crew or the visitors call for it. The count comes from the number of people on the lot and the length of the work, and it is reviewed when the work changes stage.
A hospital in Riverside evacuated patients during the river flooding of Hurricane Irma in September 2017, and the St. Johns pushed water through the area before dawn on 12 September. The river sits close to these streets, and a unit on a low lot is at risk when water comes up. Placement is planned above the high-water line where the lot allows, and units are secured before a forecast storm.
The National Weather Service in Jacksonville called the surge from Irma record flooding. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from 1 June to 30 November, according to NOAA, so storm planning is a season-long task rather than a single decision. A crew with units out on a historic lot should know the forecast and the plan for pulling those units in.
The National Weather Service gives the 1991-2020 normal July average maximum for Jacksonville as 91.9 °F, and recent Julys have run above that, with July 2025 at 94.8 °F. Units standing in the sun on a renovated lot heat up quickly, and renovation work through summer is hard on the crew inside them. Shade, a shorter servicing interval and a handwash station are the usual adjustments.
Heat also changes how a unit is checked. In summer a technician looks at the sun across the lot and the hours the crew uses the unit most, then sets the servicing cycle to match. Where the lot offers a shaded side, the unit goes there first, provided the truck can still reach it and the walk to the house stays clear.

The rule that governs servicing portable restrooms is Fla. Admin. Code R. 62-6.0101, administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and it sets the annual operating permit that a servicing company must hold. Confirm any local approval your project needs with the city.
Yes. Units near the river are secured or taken away before a forecast storm and return for cleanup once the ground is safe to work. Planning for that starts before the season begins.
