Bernal Heights, SF 94110 6692001 6 units · 3 fl · 1910

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 3800-3804 Mission St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built 1910

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Built 1910
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 3800-3804 Mission Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Meda Small Properties LLC, was constructed in 1910 and includes retail space. The property completed its soft-story retrofit in 2019, achieving Tier 4 certification with all required work completed and the certificate of final completion issued. Significant improvements were made in 2018-2019, including a comprehensive electrical upgrade involving six new subpanels, rewiring of multiple units, lighting installations, and the installation of new plumbing systems across several residential units. Additional improvements included closing kitchen-living room openings in two units, replacing gas wall heater flues, and undertaking interior demolition of a ground-floor tenant space.

The building has undergone regular housing inspections, with a notable routine inspection in 2015 revealing multiple issues that were subsequently addressed, including fire escape maintenance, carbon monoxide and smoke detector compliance, and fire extinguisher installation. Historical violations from 2003 were related to gas meter instructions and fire escape ladder maintenance, but these were resolved. Recent activity at the property includes multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding street cleaning and debris issues, though these are external to the building itself. A significant proposed project has been submitted to transform the non-conforming rear garage structure into a 4-story building with four new accessory dwelling units, though this is still under review.

Risk rating

How 3800-3804 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
13thpercentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 1110 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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