Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 614-616 Mississippi Street in Potrero Hill is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Eleanor Lorraine Thompson R. The property has a documented history of moisture-related maintenance issues, particularly concerning dry rot, with multiple repairs performed over the years including porch/landing repairs in 2012, which cost $2,500, and earlier remediation work in 2006 ($1,200). Other significant building improvements include window replacements in 2000 due to deterioration, and more recently, a complete sewer system and storm drain line installation from foundation to curb in 2020.

The property has recently faced several concerning issues, including a building fire in September 2024 which was intentionally caused but resulted in no civilian injuries. This incident led to multiple fire code violations being issued the same day, specifically regarding an ERCS permit requirement. The fall of 2024 has also seen numerous reports of abandoned items outside the property, including electronics, furniture, and appliances, with reports filed between August and January 2025. The most recent environmental concern is an open case from August 2024 regarding an overgrown tree. While there have been some parking-related issues in the vicinity, including illegal parking and a blocked driveway in late 2024, these are external to the property itself. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to structural issues, particularly concerning moisture damage, though the recent fire incident represents the most significant safety-related event on record for the property.

Risk rating

How 614-616 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.
