AI summary

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 4523 Mission Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by the Al-jamea Family Trust, has undergone various renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges since its construction in 1906. The property has seen recent accessibility improvements, with the completion in August 2023 of automatic door legalization work to comply with the accessible business entrance program, following a previously withdrawn permit from January 2022. In 2016, significant improvements were made including the replacement of windows throughout the building, and prior to that, in 2015, the property underwent re-roofing and the removal of an existing deck that was over the roof.

The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the years, with the most recent being a mold problem from leaking rainwater and plumbing issues reported in November 2022. In September 2015, multiple violations were documented including water damage, lead paint concerns, and various interior maintenance needs that were eventually abated by February 2016. Historical complaints from the 1990s revealed persistent maintenance challenges, including bathroom and kitchen issues, with problems ranging from falling tiles to plumbing problems. The property has also faced some infrastructure challenges as evidenced by recent 311 calls, including sewage backup issues in 2024 and a missing side sewer vent cover in 2021. The building's commercial space has transitioned over the years, with historical permits showing previous use as a Round Table Pizza restaurant, and planning records indicating its establishment as a large fast-food restaurant with seating for up to 36 persons within an NC-3 district.

Risk rating

How 4523 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.
