Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Potrero Hill neighborhood, this two-unit multi-family residential building at 495 Mississippi Street was constructed in 1928 and is owned by Jose Murillo. The two-story building has undergone several modifications and faced various maintenance issues over the years. Notable historical improvements include a completed reroofing project in 1991 and the removal of a satellite dish from the roof that same year, while a proposed deck replacement project in 2008 was ultimately cancelled. In 2005, there was an attempt to upgrade the electrical system with an underground conversion project that ultimately expired without completion.

The property has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with a particularly concerning sewage backup incident from the side sewer vent in November 2024. There are multiple recorded instances of graffiti (2020, 2023) and sidewalk-related problems, including an open case from July 2021 regarding a lifted sidewalk condition. The area has faced various cleanliness challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for garbage and debris, though these were generally resolved by city services. Additional historical records show a mix of vehicle-related and street maintenance issues, including a parking violation on the sidewalk in 2018 and an abandoned vehicle report in October 2023. While most historical issues have been resolved, the building's recent history shows some ongoing maintenance and safety challenges that could impact resident experience.

Risk rating

How 495 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.
