4843-4845 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 4843-4845 Mission Street is a three-story, mixed-use building constructed in 1922, containing five residential units plus commercial space, currently owned by Chester Foon and Valerie Yee. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few years, including plumbing work in 2022 to replace the street trap and sewer, and kitchen appliance upgrades in 2021.

The commercial portion of the building has maintained active use, with recent planning approvals for a limited restaurant and bakery operation within the Excelsior Outer Mission NCD Zoning District. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly with graffiti, with multiple incidents reported between 2020 and 2023. These incidents coincided with the period when the San Francisco Board of Supervisors suspended enforcement of the Graffiti Ordinance during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a backlog of unresolved cases.

Other maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, including a sidewalk defect reported in 2020 (still open as of mid-2023) and problems with an abandoned parklet in 2022. The building's plumbing infrastructure has received attention throughout its history, with records showing work on sewer systems, including a grease trap installation in 2012. While the property shows evidence of regular maintenance and responsiveness to basic infrastructure needs, the recurring graffiti issues and some unresolved sidewalk conditions suggest ongoing external maintenance challenges.
