Initial analysis

The property at 3563 Mission Street is a three-story multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, consisting of two units and owned by Thomas Paul A III. Built in 1916, this flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years. Most notably, in 2021, a substantial repair project ($14,500) was completed to address safety concerns involving the retaining wall, concrete stair risers, and guardrails at the rear of the building. In late 2022, the property experienced a critical plumbing issue when a broken house trap and sewer lateral problem was identified by SF Water-SFPUC, creating health and sanitation concerns; however, this violation was promptly abated within approximately six weeks. The building's electrical system was upgraded to 100 amps in 2003, providing improved power capacity.

Recent municipal service records from 2023-2024 show various maintenance and cleaning requests in the vicinity of the property, including multiple reports of waste removal needs, pavement defects, and the need for painting services, though these appear to be mostly street-related issues rather than directly concerning the building itself. Two minor fire complaints regarding weeds and grass were filed in July 2013 but were deemed to have no merit. The building's documented history suggests regular maintenance of critical systems, with prompt attention to both voluntary improvements and necessary repairs affecting resident safety and comfort.

Risk rating

How 3563 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

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 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 817 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 60.7%
Moderate concern 33.6%
Severe concern 5.7%
