Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 4736 Mission Street, owned by Thongvichit 2002 Trust, has a long history dating back to 1907 and has undergone several significant maintenance and security upgrades over the years. Most recently, in 2024, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris around the property, with particular incidents of human waste or urine reported in September and November. The building experienced water heating system issues in 2004, with complaints about lack of hot water lasting two years, though subsequent inspections showed resolution of this problem. Between 2017 and 2020, several fire safety concerns were documented, including issues with fire escape ladders, fire extinguisher maintenance, and sprinkler systems, with the most recent complaint about sprinkler systems being referred to the Department of Building Inspection in late 2020.

The building has undergone various improvements, including the replacement of security gates in 2010 (though one installation occurred without proper permits), sidewalk and structural work in 2006, and electrical improvements in 2007. Historical inspection records show attention to safety concerns, with routine inspections in 2000, 2004, and 2017 identifying various issues that were subsequently addressed, including stair repairs and egress obstructions. Recent months have seen ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage, debris, and parking violations in late 2024. A 2005 complaint about exposed electrical wires near the building entrance was issued violation notice but was resolved the following year.

Risk rating

How 4736 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

Out of 149 buildings in this neighborhood, 106 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 37.6%
Moderate concern 21.4%
Severe concern 41.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
