Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1922 multi-family residential building at 3825-3829 Mission Street in Bernal Heights, currently under the Ayanian Trust ownership, has experienced several significant issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most pressing are the recent electrical safety concerns, with the building generating multiple complaints and violations regarding unpermitted exterior lighting installations in 2024, leading to a violation notice that was abated in February 2024. Between 2022 and 2023, there were multiple concerning complaints about unauthorized construction and potential habitability issues, including allegations of illegal units, unpermitted structures, and obstructed access. The building has a documented history of electrical system upgrades, including a house meter replacement and new lighting installations in late 2023/early 2024, which suggests ongoing infrastructure improvements. Earlier maintenance history shows attention to basic building upkeep, including facade repairs in 2012, reroofing work in 1990 and 1997, and compliance with health department requirements in 1987.

The property has experienced some minor safety incidents recorded by the fire department, including a CO detector malfunction and a contained cooking fire, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. Recent municipal service requests (2024) indicate ongoing maintenance needs for surrounding infrastructure, including multiple reports of pavement defects on the street and sidewalk areas near the property, with some cases still open as of October 2024. The building's historical records also show past concerns about mold, broken windows, and various maintenance issues in the 1990s, though many of these appear to have been addressed.

How 3825-3829 Mission St's risk score is calculated
