Initial analysis

The property at 3183-3185 Mission St, located in Bernal Heights, is a two-story mixed-use building comprising two residential units and retail space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Takahashi Masashi & Margare. The building has undergone several significant transformations, notably attempting to convert the retail space to a medical cannabis dispensary in 2016, which led to various permit applications and approvals, though some expired without proper completion. The property has experienced multiple maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with particular concerns in 2018 including plumbing problems (leaky fixtures), housing issues (mold, leaking ceiling), and fire safety concerns, all of which were marked as "Not Active" but involved various inspection divisions. More recent history shows ongoing challenges with vacant storefronts, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2019 and 2024, and a significant complaint in late 2022 regarding unauthorized work with scaffolding placement.

The building's permit history reveals several substantial improvement projects, including a failed bathroom expansion for ADA compliance in 2016 (permit expired), electrical upgrades in 2016 (multiple permits), and a reroofing project in 2014. Recent activity includes a filed permit in December 2024 for replacing a security gate with a solid metal roll-up gate, though this appears to be in early stages. The property has generated numerous 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to garbage and debris issues on the surrounding sidewalks, with the most recent reports in early 2025. While some of these issues have been resolved promptly, they indicate ongoing concerns with building maintenance and immediate surroundings.

Risk rating

How 3183-3185 Mission 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

Grade C — Moderate risk
