AI summary

The property at 5061 Mission St, currently owned by Benjamin Sison & Tolosa-s, is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Excelsior neighborhood. Built in 1941, this two-story structure includes four units or less and features commercial space. The building has undergone several significant improvements, most notably a recent comprehensive renovation of unit 5063 completed in October 2023, which included remodeling the kitchen and bathroom with an estimated cost of $60,000. Historical improvements include a concrete retaining wall replacement project completed in 2006 at the rear of the property, which involved demolishing existing timber bulkheads and installing approximately 70 linear feet of new concrete walls, and a re-roofing project undertaken in 1988.

The property has experienced some maintenance and safety concerns in recent years, particularly in 2024. A significant issue is an open sidewalk defect reported in December 2024 regarding a collapsed sidewalk that has yet to be resolved. There have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity throughout 2024, with at least one vehicle being towed due to expired registration. A graffiti incident on the building was reported in January 2024 and remains open as of the current date. The property has also been the subject of several garbage and debris complaints in early 2025, including reports of loose garbage and debris, though these cases have been resolved. Additionally, a sidewalk issue and a sign repair inquiry in 2024 demonstrated some local infrastructure concerns, with one case being directed to SFPD for traffic-related clarification.

Risk rating

How 5061 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.
