Initial analysis

The multi-family residential building at 4601-4605 Mission Street in the Excelsior neighborhood is a 3-story structure built in 1913, containing 4 units plus commercial space currently owned by Zotalis Trust. The property has undergone significant maintenance work in recent years, with two roofing projects initiated in April 2023 costing between $15,000 and $15,350, and a house trap replacement completed in May 2015. The commercial portion of the building has seen some activity regarding signage, including the installation of a new illuminated sign for "Money Express" in 2021, following the removal of an existing sign in 2020, with both permit costs totaling $10,000.

Recent concerns around the property primarily relate to external maintenance and public space issues. Between August 2024 and January 2025, there were multiple reports of graffiti (most notably on public signal boxes and the commercial building), garbage and debris, and a pavement defect, with several cases being resolved through appropriate municipal channels. The property was noted as having a vacant storefront in May 2019, and in late 2024, there was one fire complaint filed and subsequently referred to another agency. A significant shared spaces request was filed in August 2024 regarding sidewalk clearance, tripping hazards, and waste management, which was marked as fully abated. The building's record shows regular maintenance and compliance with local regulations, though the recent cluster of 311 calls suggests ongoing challenges with external building surroundings and public space management.

Risk rating

How 4601-4605 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.
