AI summary

The two-story multi-family residential building at 5079-5083 Mission Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, built in 1906, contains three units and is classified as a Flat & Store with 4 units or less. The property is currently undergoing compliance work for the ABE program, including installation of an automatic door operator and push button at the entrance, as well as a sign for nearby nail services, though there are technical feasibility concerns regarding the existing door and concrete ramp. A more significant infrastructure upgrade is being completed in May 2024 with the replacement of the sewer lateral, which is now marked as complete.

The building and its immediate surroundings have experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past year, with the most recent 311 calls in October 2024 reporting problems with an abandoned refrigerator and an abandoned vehicle (though the vehicle was subsequently moved). There have been multiple reports of graffiti in 2023-2024, affecting a signal box, mailboxes, and the building itself, with one graffiti case from February 2023 still listed as open. Other exterior maintenance issues documented include pavement defects (July 2023), general cleaning needs (December 2023), and various street and sidewalk cleaning requirements. While many of these cases have been resolved, they indicate ongoing challenges with building exterior maintenance and neighborhood infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 5079-5083 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
43th percentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 192 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 76.2%
Moderate concern 15.1%
Severe concern 8.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
