This is simple since on the one hand there is the port mafia and on the other hand you have the mafia in darker than black led by wang shao tang. Supernatural elements are given to the contractors in darker than black as well as the actors in stray dogs. Overall personally I got the same vibe while watching these anime even though I didn't like darker than black as much as stray dogs but that doesn't change the fact that both anime are comparable.

Both of these series have some sort of "agency"(I don't know if the Syndicate counts), I guess you could say that goes against other agencies, or individuals
Both of these series hold lots of secrets that get revealed through out the series
Also they both feature people who have special abilities
This is all I can write without spoilers, so yeah...
- Both animes of Mystery and Action.
- In a world where some people have supernatural powers, the protagonist works for an organization resolving cases involving other organizations that also have people with supernatural powers.

Bungo Stray Dogs and Darker than black share similar crime/ mystery/ superpower genres, with BSD also being more comedic, also having somewhat loose plot structure, however getting more plot heavy as the series progresses (season 2 in BSD).
They also share some darker themes and than your average superpower series, using the powers to move the plot rather than as a main theme of the series.
The only negative difference is that I don't think Atsushi is as interesting as Hei as a main character, however the support characters in BSD are pretty good so it doesn't really effect the series.
Both being from bones as well as focused on dark supernatural story telling in a contemporary setting as well too.
