Initial analysis

The property at 3154-3156 Mission Street is a three-story mixed-use building constructed in 1924, containing 5 residential units above ground-floor commercial space in the Bernal Heights neighborhood. The building underwent substantial safety upgrades between 2020 and 2023, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the ground floor, an upgraded fire alarm system, and conversion of two existing restrooms into accessible facilities with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling approximately $63,000. The building had significant compliance issues in 2009-2010, with violations related to emergency egress, fire safety, and unauthorized modifications, though these were abated by October 2012. A mandatory soft-story retrofit program violation was filed in 2018, but records indicate this was resolved by early 2020.

Recent improvements have focused on accessibility and safety, with the most recent work including bathroom and fire safety upgrades in 2023. The building's systems received substantial attention in 2020, including electrical work for kitchen and bathroom renovations in multiple units, though some earlier plumbing issues were noted in 2010. The property has experienced recurring parking-related complaints in recent years, particularly regarding bicycle lane obstructions, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024. While historical maintenance and safety issues were present in 2009-2010, the building appears to have undergone significant improvements since then, particularly regarding fire safety systems and accessibility compliance.

Risk rating

How 3154-3156 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

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 1225 are predicted to be safer.
