Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 4200-4204 Mission Street, owned by Qare Victor B, was constructed in 1963 and has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over the years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2018, achieving compliance with seismic safety requirements as a Tier 4 building. Recent fire safety improvements include a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2021, with new low-frequency sounders and compatible devices installed throughout the building. There have been multiple renovation projects and repairs, particularly focused on Unit 3, which experienced significant issues in 2019 including water intrusion, mold, and appliance problems that led to multiple building violations. These violations, along with others related to interior surfaces, smoke detection, and building systems, have all been marked as not active and were addressed through subsequent repairs.

The property has a history of maintenance and safety improvements, including the replacement of windows, balcony repairs, and various unit renovations between 2018-2023. Recent tenant buyouts totaling over $200,000 occurred between 2019-2020, affecting a total of 13 tenants, though the specific reasons for these buyouts are not documented. The building has experienced periodic issues with pests, water damage, and various building systems, but most recent permits and inspections indicate active management of safety systems and compliance with building codes. There have been recent maintenance issues noted through 311 calls, primarily related to exterior garbage and debris, as well as occasional parking violations in the vicinity of the building. Recent fire alarm system inconsistencies were documented through fire complaints in 2024, though these were marked as corrected.

Risk rating

How 4200-4204 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.

Neighborhood percentile

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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 35.1%
Moderate concern 28.4%
Severe concern 36.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
