Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 3831-3835 Mission Street in Bernal Heights, owned by the Ayanian Trust, was constructed in 1922 as a flat and store under the classification for buildings with 4 units or less. The two-story structure's recent history shows compliance efforts with accessibility requirements in 2022, including installations of signage, assistance buzzers, and modifications to the entry ramp, though this work was marked as "unreasonable hardship" with a budget of $1,000. Significant maintenance and upgrades have been performed over the years, including the installation of a new cooler in 2019 ($8,500), roof work in 2021 (cooler condensing unit), and various electrical service upgrades, most notably a new 100-amp underground service in 2004.

The building has faced several maintenance and regulatory challenges in recent years, particularly in 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding unpermitted garage construction, broken windows, and pest issues. These complaints were forwarded to the Building Inspection Division and Housing Inspection Services, though their current active status is not indicated in the records. The property underwent some infrastructural work in 2007, including sewer pipeline repairs on the sidewalk and street space maintenance, which should be noted as a significant plumbing issue at that time. Historical improvements include a 1987 skylight replacement in the hallway area and a 1990 installation of refrigerated display cases, suggesting the property has maintained some commercial components alongside its residential units. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues as evidenced by various 311 calls, though these relate primarily to street-level concerns rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 3831-3835 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.
