Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 3976 Mission Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Jeff & Annette Rocca, is a 4-unit apartment complex constructed in 1907. The building has undergone significant improvements and faced various challenges over its history. Most recently, in 2017, a roofing project was completed, including membrane replacement and siding repairs at the rear of the building. A comprehensive electrical rewiring project was carried out in 2011 for all four units, along with plumbing upgrades including new water heaters and exhaust flue installations. The building has experienced several code enforcement issues, with a notable routine safety inspection in 2014 that required various safety improvements, including handrails, self-closing doors, and hot water heater repairs.

Historically, the building has faced maintenance challenges, including a complaint in 2004 regarding humidity, mold, and pest issues, and a 2001 complaint about lack of heat and deteriorating bathroom conditions. In 1985, there were multiple violations related to safety and maintenance, including broken windows, smoke detector issues, security concerns, and lead paint hazards, all of which were abated by October 2001. The property underwent extensive electrical work in 2011, including a PG&E underground conversion, and various units have received individual improvements over the years. Recent years have shown less structural or safety issues, with most recent complaints being related to exterior garbage and cleaning matters. Several routine inspections have taken place, with no active violations as of now, suggesting improved maintenance and compliance in recent years.

Risk rating

How 3976 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.
