AI summary

The four-story mixed-use building at 4831 Mission Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, completed in 1999, contains four residential units and ground-floor commercial space. The property underwent significant construction in 1994-1995, which included the installation of a fire sprinkler system (though this permit ultimately expired) and was later modified in 1998 to include architectural revisions. A substantial renovation occurred in 2009, costing $90,000, to create new walls, flooring, and handicap-accessible facilities, followed by reroofing work in 2010 at a cost of $8,000. Recent maintenance includes a furnace installation in 2010, though a gas test for Unit #3 from the same year expired without completion confirmation.

The building has experienced a series of infrastructure and maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2024-2025, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans and abandoned debris on the street, suggesting potential waste management challenges in the area. There is currently an open case from December 2024 regarding a lifted sidewalk. The property has been the subject of several fire department calls, though all incidents were either false alarms or related to minor issues with no injuries reported. In 2020, there was a complaint regarding refused hood and duct service, which was determined to have no merit upon investigation. The building's parking requirements underwent modification during its initial development phase, with approvals obtained to reduce required residential parking for the mixed-use building.

Risk rating

How 4831 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
11th percentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 300 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 35.2%
Moderate concern 17.3%
Severe concern 47.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
