AI summary

The property at 5480-5482 Mission Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Mission neighborhood, owned by Richard L. and Julianne A. Steven. Built in 1924, this two-story flat and store building has undergone several significant infrastructure updates over the years, including a complete electrical system upgrade in 2004 featuring a 200-amp service installation and address correction, following earlier improvements from 1994 when aluminum windows were installed and various repairs were completed. The building's maintenance history includes a reroofing project from 1997, though this permit has since expired.

Most notably, the property has experienced multiple sewage-related incidents in 2024, with three separate sewage back-up discharge events reported between August and November, indicating a potential ongoing plumbing or sewer infrastructure challenge. The building's recent service history shows some environmental health concern logged in December 2024, though this remains open as of the latest data. Additional incidents in 2024 include various municipal service responses such as parking enforcement actions, a garbage debris complaint, and a detector activation event with no fire involved. While the building has received regular maintenance over the years, the pattern of recent sewage-related incidents suggests this may be an area requiring attention.

Risk rating

How 5480-5482 Mission St's risk score is calculated
