Initial analysis

The property at 5169 Mission Street is a two-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building with commercial space, owned by Guillermo Obando and constructed in 1952. The building has undergone significant commercial renovations in recent years, particularly in 2023-2024, including the installation of an automatic fire suppression system in the kitchen, electrical upgrades for a bakery, and various plumbing improvements. The property has a history of addressing maintenance and safety concerns, as evidenced by the resolution of multiple violations in 2000 related to fire safety, security, and plumbing issues, which were abated within approximately two months. More recent housing complaints from 2016 reported interior maintenance issues such as leaks, peeling paint, and mold, though these were also resolved.

The building has seen consistent commercial activity, with recent permits showing work related to a bakery ("The Cake House") installation in 2023-2024, including kitchen equipment and ADA restroom improvements. The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to both residential and commercial components, with the most recent permits indicating ongoing improvements to kitchen safety systems and utilities. While there have been numerous 311 calls regarding the property and surrounding areas in 2024, most were related to external issues such as street cleaning and graffiti, rather than building-specific concerns. A routine inspection in 2016 and several other inspections over the years demonstrate regular oversight of building conditions, though a recent complaint filed in April 2023 regarding a vacant commercial structure remains active as of the latest records.

Risk rating

How 5169 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
86th percentile

Out of 119 buildings in this neighborhood, 17 are predicted to be safer.
