Inner Mission, SF 94110 6517025 6 units · 2 fl · 1910

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2861-2869 Mission St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1910
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1910
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 2861-2869 Mission Street, owned by Siu Burton and constructed in 1910, contains 6 units and has undergone various maintenance and renovation projects over recent decades. The property has received several significant improvements in recent years, including a complete window sash replacement (2020), re-roofing (2017), and various plumbing upgrades in 2011. Historical records show multiple attempts to convert retail spaces to salons between 2010-2014, often accompanied by permit violations and resident complaints about unauthorized work and living space conversions in commercial areas. The building experienced several code violations in 2004 related to fire safety, sanitation, and lead paint hazards, though these were all abated by April 2004. A notable plumbing issue was reported in 2006 regarding improperly sized rainwater leaders that were not properly tied into the sanitary system, and a roof drain problem was documented in 2001.

Recent maintenance and compliance issues have included three open 311 calls from June 2024 regarding hazardous materials, damaged trees, and graffiti. The property has also faced building inspection complaints about unauthorized renovation work, particularly in connection with the hair salon conversion in 2019. Multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades have been performed over the years to address various code compliance issues, including work to extend gas houselines in 2011 and bathroom relocation in 2010. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including multiple re-roofing projects (most recently in 2017) and window repairs, though some historical issues suggest periodic challenges with maintaining compliance across all building systems.

Risk rating

How 2861-2869 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
30thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1666 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
