Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 5226 Mission Street in the Outer Mission district, owned by the Bruno Family 1999 Revocable Living Trust, was constructed in 1924 and includes a ground floor commercial space. The building has undergone several significant modifications, most notably as a telecommunications site for Sprint, with multiple permit activities between 1997-2024 related to antenna installations, equipment upgrades, and eventual decommissioning. Recent roof-related work includes a completed $12,000 equipment removal project in 2022 and a larger reroofing project initiated in 2016 costing over $43,000. Essential maintenance has been carried out, including rear stair replacement due to termite and dry rot issues in 2018, though this work was notable for requiring two permits (costing $20,000 in total) and displays an unusual pattern of grafting together various code requirements.

The building has experienced some safety-related issues in the past, including two fire safety violations in 2011 regarding blocked exits and hood service, both of which were promptly corrected. There have been two recorded complaints about unpermitted work - one in 2007 related to door installations, and another in 2011 concerning digging up an easement. Recent activity around the property has primarily consisted of routine maintenance and environmental issues, with multiple parking enforcement calls and some street cleaning matters being reported through 311 calls in 2023-2025. The building also holds the necessary entertainment permit for Limited Live Performance (LLP) use as accessory to the existing restaurant, Venice Pizza, allowing for performances concluding by 10 PM.

Risk rating

How 5226 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
63th percentile

Out of 112 buildings in this neighborhood, 41 are predicted to be safer.
