Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3535 Mission Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Lucero Henry Jr., has undergone significant renovation work since mid-2023, following major building permits totaling over $420,000 in improvements. Construction work commenced in June 2023 and has continued through 2024, including bathroom remodels, kitchen renovations, and the addition of new bathrooms and laundry facilities in both units. Recent structural improvements include replacing substandard retaining walls and post foundations, as well as upgrading fire safety features. The building's electrical and plumbing systems are also undergoing comprehensive upgrades, with new service panels, bathroom additions, and complete electrical system improvements documented through multiple permits between 2023-2024.

The property has experienced some historical maintenance issues, notably in November 2013 when multiple violations were documented regarding lead paint hazards and weatherproofing problems with the stucco exterior; however, these violations were officially abated by January 2014. The building has experienced two sewage backup incidents in March and June 2023, which were resolved through fieldwork by the PUC Sewer Operations. Several recent 311 calls in 2023-2024 have been logged for general cleaning needs around the property, including reports of human waste, fallen trees, and garbage issues, though these environmental matters appear to have been promptly addressed by city services. A demolition and construction complaint was filed in August 2023, which was subsequently marked as not active, suggesting it may have been related to the ongoing renovation work.

Risk rating

How 3535 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.
