Unlock complete reportThe property at 4739 Mission Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1935 and currently owned by Forever Love Lvg Tr. The building has experienced several significant issues over the years, with the most pressing being an active violation from July 2021 regarding an unpermitted 200 sqft rear structure with electrical work and a wet bat installation. This structure was the subject of a demolition permit filed in April 2023. The building has a history of serious maintenance and safety concerns, particularly in 2003 when multiple violations were recorded regarding water penetration, mold/mildew, and lead paint hazards in apartment 4739A, though these were all abated by February 2003. There have been recent infrastructure updates including plumbing work in 2008 (gas line installation) and electrical corrections in 2021 (removal of MC wires), but a 2013 electrical permit for a utility box installation expired.

How 4739 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
