Initial analysis

The two-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3788-3790 Mission St in Bernal Heights, owned by David T Louie, was built in 1913 and includes both residential and commercial spaces. The building has undergone several significant improvements, with the most critical being a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2015-2016, which included structural beam support modifications and shear wall revisions, demonstrating compliance with building safety requirements. Other notable improvements include a comprehensive window replacement project in 2008 ($30,000) and a kitchen remodel in 2013 ($12,000) that encompassed both plumbing and electrical upgrades. The building's electrical system was significantly updated in 2004 with the installation of a 400-amp overhead service with 11 meters.

The building's maintenance history shows some areas of concern, particularly in the late 2000s when there were multiple fire safety complaints between 2008-2009, including two violations (one for blocked exits in January 2009 and another for storage of combustibles in March 2009), though all were addressed and closed. There was also a historical roof leak complaint from 1995 that was resolved within eight months. A minor electrical violation was recorded in 2010 regarding unpermitted work, which was quickly abated, and the building has not had any major building code violations in recent years. Three fire incidents were recorded between 2008-2009, including a building fire caused by equipment failure, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries. The most recent building improvements appear to focus on structural safety, with no recent major systems upgrades or violations on record, suggesting regular maintenance has been maintained.

Risk rating

How 3788-3790 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.

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.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 42.2%
Moderate concern 36.5%
Severe concern 21.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
