Initial analysis

The property at 5739 Mission Street is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Buckley Real Estate Inc., with a historical unit composition of 2 residential units. The building has a complex history marked by several significant events, most notably multiple attempts between 2014 and 2019 to redevelop the site into a larger condominium complex, including a withdrawn proposal to replace the existing structure with a 4-story, 7-unit building. The property has experienced recurring issues with unauthorized unit conversions, particularly regarding a metal shed that was allegedly converted into a residential unit between 2001 and 2007, leading to multiple violations and complaints. More recent developments include active concerns about illegal parking patterns near the property, with numerous complaints filed in 2022-2024, and ongoing issues with damaged pavement reported in late 2023.

The building's maintenance and safety history shows some significant concerns, including plumbing issues in 1999 with waste discharge problems, and a series of permit applications and violations throughout the late 1980s to early 2000s related to unauthorized construction and modifications. While many of these violations were eventually abated, including a required demolition of unauthorized storage sheds in 2008, the property has continued to generate complaints about various issues, including a vacant storefront reported in 2019 (current status as of 2023) and pavement defects noted in late 2023. Multiple redevelopment proposals have been submitted over the years, with the most comprehensive being a 2007-2008 plan to construct a new 7-unit condominium building, though this was ultimately withdrawn. The current site remains a subject of interest for potential redevelopment, as indicated by various planning records, including a 2022 proposal for a mixed-use development of 21 residential units and retail space.

Risk rating

How 5739 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.
