Initial analysis

The property at 5294 Mission Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by the Ng Bing P Reovocable Trust. The building underwent significant renovations in 2008, including comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodels, electrical system upgrades (installation of new lights, switches, and receptacles), and plumbing improvements including new fixtures and water heater. In 2011, exterior maintenance was performed on the back corner's stucco. A concerning electrical safety complaint was filed in March 2020 regarding the commercial space (5298 Mission) with allegations of hazardous wiring conditions, though this case is currently listed as not active.

Recent activity around the property has been primarily related to parking enforcement, with multiple reports of illegal parking between December 2024 and January 2025, though most incidents resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. There have also been recent sanitation-related issues, including reports of graffiti, garbage, and debris in late 2024, which were subsequently addressed by city services. While the building's major systems have been updated in the past, the 2020 electrical safety complaint stands out as a significant incident, though it's worth noting that this complaint pertained to the commercial space rather than the residential units. The property has experienced minimal documented issues over its history, with records dating back to 1983 showing only routine maintenance and typical urban challenges.

Risk rating

How 5294 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
