Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 4740 Mission Street, owned by Angelo F. Cosentino, was constructed in 1906 and contains 4 units, including one commercial space. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past few years, most notably a $92,000 voluntary strengthening project completed in 2018 that included electrical and plumbing upgrades, removal of a non-bearing interior wall, and basement waterproofing improvements. This followed a fire incident in 2005 that resulted in extensive electrical work to rewire the entire apartment, though some permits from that period were cancelled. More recent improvements include the installation of ADA-compliant facilities in 2019 and an underground electrical service upgrade.

The building has experienced several challenges, including complaints about a vacant storefront in 2019 and multiple fire alarm system issues between 2007-2022, though most were resolved with no merit or corrected conditions. Recent years have seen recurring street-level concerns, particularly in 2024, with multiple reports of garbage and debris, illegal parking, and other urban maintenance issues in the vicinity. Historical records show two fire violations in 2007 related to operating without a permit and other unspecified violations, though these were ultimately closed. The building's maintenance history suggests regular updating of safety systems and infrastructure, though the frequency of recent street-level complaints indicates ongoing challenges with the immediate neighborhood environment.

Risk rating

How 4740 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
39th percentile

Out of 149 buildings in this neighborhood, 91 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 38.0%
Moderate concern 23.9%
Severe concern 38.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
