Initial analysis

The property at 5791-5799 Mission Street is a 2-story, 13-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail space, built in 1929 and currently owned by Jason G. Fong and Cather Leung. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements in recent years, most notably in 2019 when ADA-compliant bathrooms were added on the ground floor with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling $29,000. Prior improvements include kitchen and bath updates in 2015, basement structural repairs in 2012, and major electrical rewiring in 2016. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of essential systems, including multiple water heater replacements and furnace upgrades between 2009-2016.

The property has experienced several housing code violations and complaints over its history, with the most recent routine inspection completed in 2017 addressing multiple fire safety and heating system issues, though these were subsequently resolved. Earlier violations from 2001 included fire escape obstructions and gas meter requirements, while a 2009 complaint noted a roach infestation. Recent 311 calls (2024) have primarily concerned external issues such as sidewalk parking, debris, and graffiti, which were generally resolved by city services. The building's tenant improvement history suggests ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with particular attention to accessibility and safety features in recent years. The most recent building activity of note is the use of the property as "Woody's Liquor & Grocery" (off-sale general) at the ground floor, which has been appropriately permitted.

Risk rating

How 5791-5799 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
5th percentile

Out of 119 buildings in this neighborhood, 113 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 9.6%
Moderate concern 29.1%
Severe concern 61.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
