50 Capra Way, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 18-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 50 Capra Way, owned by Ho Properties Corporation, has undergone several significant safety upgrades and maintenance work since its construction in 1927. Most recently, in July 2023, the building completed a voluntary $40,000 fire alarm system replacement, which was followed by another fire alarm-related work in May 2024 that included additional sleeping sounders. The building has successfully completed mandatory seismic improvements as a Tier 4 soft-story building, receiving its Certificate of Final Completion.

The property has experienced recurring boiler-related issues, with multiple violations recorded between 2013 and 2016 regarding unpermitted boiler operation, though all these violations were eventually abated. More recent improvements to the building's infrastructure include a $65,000 seismic retrofit completed in 2017, water service and boiler replacements in 2012 and 2020, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. The building has had some maintenance challenges as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent months, primarily concerning garbage and debris, though these issues appear to have been promptly addressed.

The most recent fire violation from December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements is currently open. Historical records show various structural maintenance work including reroofing in 2003, water service connection repairs in 2013, and brick veneer repair in 1996 following vehicle damage to the building's front. Street space permits have been regularly obtained, with the most recent issued in 2017. The property has maintained compliance with major building codes and requirements, as evidenced by the completion of various mandatory programs and improvements, though the frequency of boiler-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance of building systems remains an important focus.
