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

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.
