Initial analysis

The property at 5481-5485 Mission Street is a two-story, mixed-use building constructed in 1923, containing three residential units above a commercial ground floor space, and is currently owned by Wong Yim Man. The building's history shows consistent maintenance and adaptation to modern requirements, with significant improvements including the installation of an accessibility ramp at the commercial entrance in 2018 ($7,000), replacement of vinyl surfaces in 2016, conversion of a ground-floor barber shop to a cafe in 2006 ($7,700), and the installation of new cold water services in 2013. Earlier maintenance work included slab repair in 1995, electrical upgrades in 2006, and various address verifications in 2006.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness in recent months, with seven 311 calls between September 2023 and January 2025, primarily regarding garbage, debris, and abandoned furniture on the surrounding sidewalks. There have also been several parking-related complaints in the vicinity, with four cases of illegal parking and two blocked driveway reports between September 2023 and January 2024, though many were unable to be verified by responding officers or were deemed invalid due to insufficient reporting information. While these exterior maintenance and parking issues are notable, they primarily affect the immediate neighborhood rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 5481-5485 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.
