Initial analysis

The property at 3808-3810 Mission Street is a 3-story multi-family residential building with 4 units plus retail space, constructed in 1910 and owned by Refugio Sanchez. The building has experienced several significant safety and habitability issues over the past decade, with the most pressing concerns emerging in late 2022 when multiple violations were documented, including problems with heating, water systems, and structural maintenance. These violations, along with issues related to smoke detection and fire safety, were officially recorded but were marked as abated in September 2023. However, more recent concerns have emerged regarding handrail safety, with an active complaint filed in July 2023 and subsequent permits issued in October 2023 and March 2024 to address stairway handrail issues.

The building's history includes multiple instances of unauthorized modifications and safety concerns, dating back to a 2010 complaint about unauthorized construction. A particularly notable situation emerged from a 2010 Housing Inspection Services complaint that documented numerous safety hazards, though many of these issues were resolved by late 2022. Recent electrical improvements include the installation of a wall-mounted electrical space heater in mid-2023, while historical work includes electrical service upgrades in 2003-2007 and reroofing work in 2003. The property has also been subject to multiple parking enforcement actions, particularly in 2024, with numerous complaints about vehicles blocking driveways. A recent water leak was reported and resolved in October 2024.

Risk rating

How 3808-3810 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.
