49-51 Capp St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The two-unit residential building at 49-51 Capp Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission, owned by Busto Family Trust, has experienced several significant events in recent years, the most serious being a fire incident in February 2021 that caused damage to both units. This fire required substantial repairs totaling $50,000, including the replacement of wall framing, footings, interior finishes, windows, doors, water heaters, and foundation work. Subsequent to the fire, extensive plumbing and electrical work was conducted to restore both units, including installation of new shower pans, water heaters, and electrical systems, with the work being completed in 2022.

The building has faced ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, with multiple active violations from 2018 still unresolved as of the current date. These include issues related to inadequate heating systems and interior cleanliness. A significant permit was issued in 2022 for the demolition of an unpermitted bathroom at the rear of the building, which had been a source of various compliance issues including unauthorized plumbing and electrical work that were subsequently permitted properly.

The building's history shows periodic maintenance and upgrade work, including a horizontal addition in 1988 and various plumbing and electrical repairs over the years. Most recently, the property has been under increased scrutiny due to the active building complaints regarding fire damage and heating system failures. While significant repair work has been completed following the 2021 fire, the presence of multiple active violations indicates ongoing compliance issues that may affect resident comfort and safety.
