Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 3988 Mission Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Graciela & Alfonso Gonzalez F, was constructed in 1911 and contains three units. The property has undergone several notable improvements over the years, including the installation of a 7.0kW solar system with 30 roof-mounted panels and inverters in 2013, and a 200-amp overhead electrical service upgrade with two panels in 2003. Historical records show dental equipment installation work in 1987, along with a projecting sign installation in 2005, though the latter permit has since expired.

The building has experienced numerous fire-related incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries or actual fires. These incidents primarily involved unintentional alarm activations, cooking-related events, and system malfunctions. Recent maintenance issues have been relatively minimal, with one reported sewer issue in March 2024 involving a blockage at a neighboring property (3999 Mission St). The surrounding area has faced various urban cleanliness challenges, as evidenced by multiple reports of loose garbage, graffiti, and waste between 2022 and 2024, though these were primarily external to the building itself. Parking-related incidents have been recorded, including an unresolved driveway blocking case from October 2023 and an abandoned vehicle report from September 2023. The property has maintained basic safety compliance, with no recorded building code violations or serious structural concerns in recent years.

Risk rating

How 3988 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.
