Initial analysis

The property at 2943-2945 Mission Street, owned by Tang Man Fai, is a two-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906 in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over the years, with the most recent major electrical work permitted in December 2024 involving new wiring installation in 2945 and 2945A. Historical records show multiple infrastructure improvements, including a fire suppression system installation in 2008, heating system upgrades in 2009, and electrical service modifications in 2016. The building has experienced some maintenance and safety issues, including a heating complaint in early 2009 that was resolved, and a 1999 complaint regarding temporary roofing work affecting emergency exits and temperature control.

The property has been the subject of three fire-related complaints between 2015-2018, concerning issues like unapproved assembly, overcrowding, and operating without a permit, though two of these were determined to have no merit or were corrected. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to sidewalk cleanliness and encampment issues, which are ongoing community matters rather than direct building concerns. The commercial portion of the property (likely a restaurant) has required various permits over the years, including for hood and duct fire systems, and has undergone several compliance reviews, most recently receiving approvals for continued operation as Rinconcito Nicaraguense with entertainment uses. A tenant buyout occurred in September 2015 involving two tenants and a payment of $8,500, though this pertains to the neighboring 2941 Mission Street address rather than the subject property directly.

Risk rating

How 2943-2945 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
