Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2852-2854 Mission Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Gjoni Gjon, was constructed in 1916 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related events over its lifetime. Most recently, in 2023, there were issues with peeling paint that raised lead hazard concerns, which were abated by November 2023. The building has undergone various safety improvements, including a fire alarm system upgrade in 2018 (with completion confirmed by electrical permits) and the installation of a kitchen fire suppression system in 2017. Historical records show multiple fire code violations between 2006 and 2020, though most have been addressed and abated, including issues with alarm systems, fire extinguishers, and emergency lighting.

The property has required substantial structural attention, with a $31,000 reroofing project in 2019 and various other proposed improvements, including a cancelled seismic retrofit project in 2018 and work related to building foundations in 2017. There have been recurring maintenance issues evident through 311 calls and complaints, with multiple reports in 2024 regarding graffiti, sidewalk cleaning, and noise concerns. The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, particularly from 2006-2020, though recent improvements suggest attention to these issues. Notably, there were several fire escape and lead paint violations recorded in 2004-2005, which were abated, and the property has undergone periodic maintenance to address various infrastructure needs, including drainage systems and foundation repairs.

Risk rating

How 2852-2854 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.
