The property at 3158 Mission Street in Bernal Heights is a three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Meda Haf Small Properties L. The building has undergone significant improvements in recent years, particularly in 2020-2021, when major safety upgrades were implemented including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system throughout the ground floor, an upgraded fire alarm system, voluntary seismic retrofitting, and the relocation of trash, recycling, and compost bins to comply with city regulations. In 2019, a complete reroofing was performed, and in 2022 the sewer lateral was replaced.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most recent concerns focused on compliance with fire safety regulations. Multiple fire code violations were recorded between 2019-2020, including issues with sprinklers, ceiling clearance, and operating without a fire department permit. Historical complaints from 2015-2017 documented problems with mold, water intrusion, and building code compliance, particularly regarding unauthorized unit modifications.

Fire safety concerns have been recurring, with multiple fire complaints noting blocked exits, overcrowding, and multiple fire code violations between 2013-2024. A tenant buyout occurred in February 2016 for $59,570.42 involving one tenant. Recent activity at the property has included maintenance requests and city inspections, with the most current issues being graffiti (reported November 2023) and a shared spaces violation (November 2023). The building's historical records show a pattern of repairs and improvements over time, particularly in response to violations and complaints, but also indicate some recurring safety and maintenance challenges that have required ongoing attention.
