Initial analysis

The property at 5547-5553 Mission Street is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in the Croker Amazon neighborhood, owned by Fiorella Talenti and constructed in 1952. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair work over the past few decades, with the most recent major work being a $23,000 re-roofing project completed in 2018. Previous structural improvements include repairs to stairs and remediation of post damage in 2017 ($3,420), and deck repairs in 2016 ($2,600). The building has experienced multiple fire safety issues, most notably in 2000 when several violations were recorded related to fire sprinklers, combustible storage, and egress obstruction, though these were all abated by October 2000. A routine inspection in 2017 identified fire proofing repair needs that were subsequently addressed.

The property's maintenance history shows recurring housing quality issues, including a recent complaint in 2022 regarding hot water service that was resolved within a month. Earlier complaints from 2004 documented concerns about mildew, mold, and old carpeting affecting tenant health. The building has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with most issues being resolved through appropriate remedial work or repairs. Recent external environment concerns have been documented through multiple 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning and debris removal, with the most recent being in early 2025. A fire safety-related complaint about blocked exits was investigated and deemed to have no merit in 2019. The building's management has generally addressed violations and complaints in a timely manner, though some recurring issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 5547-5553 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

Out of 119 buildings in this neighborhood, 104 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Number of units

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

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 50.8%
Moderate concern 13.8%
Severe concern 35.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
