Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 41-45 Capp Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Beatrice A Cummings since 2014, was constructed in 1916 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over the years. The most pressing current issue is an active complaint from August 2024 regarding an unshielded back porch light that disrupts surrounding neighbors, which follows a similar complaint from August 2022 about the same lighting issue. The building's history includes a notable cluster of violations in July 2003 that required attention to various safety and maintenance concerns, including fire extinguisher requirements, security door self-closing devices, gas meter instructions, lead paint hazards, and repairs to stairs and decks - all of which were officially abated by January 2005. Earlier improvements included window replacements in 1988, and more recent maintenance activities were documented in 2009 with street space and sidewalk repairs.

The property has experienced some environmental impacts, as evidenced by a March 2004 complaint regarding peeling paint potentially affecting a neighbor's fish pond. A routine safety inspection was conducted and resolved in August 2008, and while there have been multiple 311 calls in the vicinity, most relate to street lighting issues and parking concerns rather than building-specific problems. These calls have been primarily regarding streetlight flickering or burnout (2018, 2020, and 2022) and some noise and parking issues. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing violations and maintaining compliance with housing requirements, though the recurring lighting issue suggests an ongoing concern with exterior lighting management.

Risk rating

How 41-45 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.
