Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3561 Mission Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Silas Geneson Sep Prop Lvg, has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure issues since its construction in 1916. Most recently, in October 2022, there was a documented issue with the house trap/sewer lateral that was promptly addressed and completed. The building has undergone significant repairs to various structural elements over the years, including multiple interventions to the front stairs (1986, 1987) and bathroom-related dry rot issues (1995). A notable cluster of violations occurred in February 2002, involving multiple interior surface problems (walls, ceilings, floors, kitchen cabinets), plumbing issues including sink repairs, and fire safety violations regarding extinguishers - all of which were abated by March 2002.

The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing both immediate and recurring issues, with most repairs being completed satisfactorily. Infrastructure improvements include an underground utility conversion completed in 2003. While there have been numerous recent 311 calls regarding street cleaning and debris (especially in 2024), these are primarily related to public areas outside the building rather than internal property conditions. The building's documented history suggests generally responsive maintenance, with most violations and complaints being resolved in a timely manner, though several structural projects from the 1980s (such as front steps and stairs work) were marked as expired permits rather than completed.

Risk rating

How 3561 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.
