AI summary

The 77-87 Capp Street multi-family residential building is a 6-unit, 3-story structure built in 1900, currently owned by 77-87 Capp Street LLC. The property has undergone significant maintenance and rehabilitation work in recent years, including kitchen and bathroom renovations in units 77 and 81 (completed in 2023 and 2024 respectively), a complete reroofing project in 2023, and substantial termite and dry rot repairs in early 2023 affecting various building components including the garage, lightwells, and rear stairs. A notable cluster of violations was documented in February 2021, including issues with water damage, damaged ceilings, mold/mildew, and stair repairs, as well as concerns about lead-based paint, though all these violations were officially abated by April 2021. The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over the years, including past issues with the back stairwell (2015), front door security and general maintenance concerns (2007), and multiple fire safety matters, though recent responses indicate that these issues have generally been addressed.

The property management has focused on systematic improvements, as evidenced by the recent unit renovations and major infrastructure updates like the 400-amp service upgrade and comprehensive electrical system improvements. While there is currently no active occupant complaints or violations on record, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to structural and safety issues is required. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 primarily relate to external matters such as graffiti and street cleaning issues, which are municipal rather than building-specific concerns. The most recent fire safety inspection noted an issue with shared spaces (October 2021) and a past blocked exits violation (2017), though these were corrected promptly according to official records.

Risk rating

How 77-87 Capp 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.
