5000 Mission St

Mission Terrace, SF 94112 6968008 3 units · 2 fl · 1956

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 5000 Mission St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1956
2 or more units
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1956
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The property at 5000 Mission Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1956, currently containing three residential units above commercial space, owned by Hoi Yuen & Kuan Wa Kou Chow. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with major renovations including the conversion of a single residential unit to two units above commercial space in 2013 ($40,000), the complete installation of a fire sprinkler system on the second floor in 2016 ($15,000), and subsequent upgrades to the fire safety monitoring system. Recent maintenance includes reroofing work completed in 2021 ($14,000). The building's safety features, particularly fire safety, have been notably enhanced over recent years, with comprehensive fire sprinkler and monitoring systems installed.

The property has experienced several maintenance and improvement projects since the 1990s, including deck repairs, bathroom renovations, and various interior improvements. Recent 311 calls from December 2024 indicate some ongoing challenges with parking enforcement and occasional issues with garbage and debris on the property, though these were generally addressed promptly by city services. The building's commercial space has undergone previous modifications, including a conversion to an educational center in 2011. All major building permits show "Complete" status, indicating successful resolution of the proposed work. The building's location in Mission Terrace has been subject to typical urban infrastructure and maintenance challenges, as evidenced by recent 311 calls, but these do not appear to reflect any systemic issues with the property itself.

Risk rating

How 5000 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
57thpercentile

Out of 149 buildings in this neighborhood, 64 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
