4607-4609 Mission St

Excelsior, SF 94112 6083033A 3 units · 2 fl · 1916

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 4607-4609 Mission St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1916
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1916
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 4607-4609 Mission Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Matilde F. Leonetti and built in 1916, consists of three residential units plus commercial space and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. Most recently, in 2022, approximately 25 feet of 4-inch sewer line was replaced on the side of the building, following an earlier 2016 sewer line and house trap replacement that expired without completion confirmation. The property has seen regular maintenance and upgrades, including a complete re-roofing in 2018, front siding repairs with tile replacement in 2019, and historical updates such as a canvas awning installation in 1992 and front door closure in 1989.

While the building has maintained reasonable structural upkeep, there have been some notable concerns regarding building systems and maintenance requirements. A fire safety issue was documented in August 2020 when hood and duct service was reportedly refused, though this was corrected by January 2021. Most recently, there has been a concerning pattern of garbage and debris issues, with ten separate reports of overflowing city garbage cans in January 2025, though these were resolved through normal municipal processes. In terms of commercial activity, the property has seen some transitions, including the establishment of a restaurant/bar (Baby’s Eatery and Palabok) in the commercial space, with proper permits obtained through the Excelsior Outer Mission NCD.

Risk rating

How 4607-4609 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
22ndpercentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 263 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Neighborhood location

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

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
