Initial analysis

The 7-unit apartment building at 156 Missouri Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Twin Tigers Trust, has undergone significant improvements since its 1962 construction. The property completed mandatory soft-story retrofitting (Tier 3) in 2018, achieving seismic compliance. Major additions include two ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) added to the ground floor in 2017-2018, along with comprehensive fire safety upgrades including a new fire alarm system and sprinklers installed throughout the building. Recent renovations include multiple unit-specific kitchen remodels between 2015-2020, featuring new cabinets, appliances, and finishes across several units (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5).

The building has maintained active upkeep with several significant improvements including a new roof (2018), electrical service upgrade to 400 amps (2018), and replacement of two furnaces (2019). However, there were several complaints during 2018-2019 regarding construction work procedures, including unauthorized work scope, late construction hours, and safety concerns with unsecured areas and exposed wiring, though these complaints were ultimately closed. Routine maintenance issues have been documented, such as plumbing leaks in 2019 and a vacant building complaint in late 2019. Recent 311 calls show typical urban maintenance issues being addressed, including sidewalk defects (2023), though nothing indicates pressing building-related concerns. The property appears to be in good standing with no active complaints or violations as of the latest records, with all major building improvements and safety systems properly installed and functioning.

Risk rating

How 156 Missouri 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
9th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 661 are predicted to be safer.
