The San Francisco Department of Building Inspections released a report this month showing that the majority of housing code violations reported in the Mission District between 2014 and 2015 were corrected.

Between July 2014 and June 2015, 215 notices were issued that cited some 1,564 code violations were in the building inspection district that covers the Mission District and parts of Potrero Hill and the Dogpatch.
