Initial analysis

3975 Mission St is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, built in 1953 and currently owned by Maka Crissann Branchcomb. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent major maintenance activity being a sewage backup discharge issue in August 2024 that was promptly resolved by PUC Sewer Operations. The building has seen consistent upgrades to its infrastructure, including a complete kitchen remodel in 2013 with associated plumbing and electrical work ($11,000) and a renovation of Unit #4's kitchen in 2011 ($10,000) that included modern appliances and fixtures. A significant electrical upgrade was completed in 2003 with the conversion to underground service and installation of new circuit breaker service with 5 meters.

The property has faced multiple routine safety inspections over the years, with several fire safety violations noted in 2002 and 2015, including issues with fire doors, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and fire extinguisher maintenance. All these violations were ultimately abated, with the most recent inspection closing out in June 2015. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure needs, including reroofing work completed in 1991. Recent years have seen numerous parking-related issues near the property, with multiple complaints about blocked driveways between 2020 and 2025, though these are external to the building's maintenance concerns. The property's location in Bernal Heights has generally benefited from ongoing maintenance and upgrades, with the most pressing recent issue being the 2024 sewage discharge incident.

Risk rating

How 3975 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, 919 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 35.0%
Moderate concern 19.4%
Severe concern 45.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
