Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 4871-4873 Mission Street, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Lucky Group Investments LLC, consists of three residential units plus ground-floor commercial space. The property has undergone several notable improvements and faced various compliance issues over the years. Most recently, in 2018, a solar power system was installed with 24 PV modules. The ground-floor commercial space underwent significant changes in 2012, transitioning from retail to fringe financial use, which included the installation of new teller windows, lobby tiles, and countertops, though this transition was preceded by illegal signage installations that resulted in a violation notice. The building has been proactive in addressing maintenance and safety issues, including a 2008 roof deck renovation, though it previously faced multiple interior surface violations in 2008 related to lead paint hazards, interior door issues, and security concerns, all of which were abated by September 2014.

Recent activity at the property includes multiple 311 calls between 2023-2025 regarding various external maintenance issues, including graffiti, illegal parking, garbage concerns, and a sewer discharge incident in June 2024. While these recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, they primarily relate to exterior conditions rather than interior habitability issues. The property has a relatively clean recent history regarding major violations or safety concerns, with no active building violations or significant fire incidents in recent years. Historical records show some fire safety concerns in 2010 regarding blocked exits and other unspecified issues, but these were corrected promptly. The building's location in the Excelsior neighborhood has seen typical urban challenges related to street maintenance and graffiti, as evidenced by recent 311 calls, though these issues appear to be promptly addressed by city services.

Risk rating

How 4871-4873 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 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 276 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.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 63.3%
Moderate concern 22.1%
Severe concern 14.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
