Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 3786 Mission Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Clair Jones Inc, was constructed in 1911 and has undergone several significant modifications over its lifetime. The most substantial structural work occurred in 1991-1992, when a horizontal addition was completed, followed by the installation of a sprinkler system and some modifications to the front entry and stairs. Additional improvements included reroofing in 1996 and a 2004 electrical upgrade that converted the wiring from overhead to underground, though both of these permits have since expired. The building has undergone regular maintenance and safety upgrades, including repairs to the rear stairs and side walls in 1985.

Recent history shows minimal building-specific issues, with no recorded complaints or violations directly related to the building itself in recent years. However, there have been several 311 calls in the vicinity of the property between 2017 and 2022, primarily involving illegal parking, a graffiti incident on a pole, and an encampment cleanup, all of which were resolved by city agencies. The most recent official modification to the property was the installation of an ADA push button, which was completed with no changes to the front facade. While these external issues could affect resident experience, they appear to be typical of the neighborhood and have been consistently addressed by city services.

Risk rating

How 3786 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.5%
Moderate concern 26.6%
Severe concern 13.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
