Initial analysis

The property at 233-235 Mississippi Street in Potrero Hill is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by William & Anne Trus Johnson. The building has experienced recurring issues with water damage and structural maintenance, most notably between 2019-2020 when residents reported significant water intrusion problems involving standing water, wood rot, and mildew on the back stairs and decks. These concerns follow a pattern of deck and roofing issues, as evidenced by multiple repair permits over the decades, including a $21,553 reroofing project in 2005 and a $950 deck and roofing repair in 2004 to address leaks. The building has a documented history of structural concerns, with a code violation correction completed in 1983 costing $10,000, and earlier issues in 1989 involving repairs to a rotted beam under the front porch.

Recent building maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with basic property upkeep, as indicated by several 311 calls concerning the property - including instances of toters being left out continuously in 2016 and construction materials blocking the sidewalk in 2013. While some of these issues are more related to general property management rather than building safety, they contribute to an overall picture of a property requiring consistent maintenance attention. The most recent documented building-related complaint was filed in January 2020, though it remains unclear from the available data whether this issue was fully resolved or abated.

Risk rating

How 233-235 Mississippi 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

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 617 are predicted to be safer.
