200-218 Capp St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story multi-family residential building at 200-218 Capp Street in the Inner Mission, constructed in 1910, consists of 9 units and is currently owned by 363 Valencia LLC. The property underwent significant seismic safety improvements in 2018, completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit (Tier 4) valued at $88,000, along with associated structural revisions, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco building codes. Recent maintenance work includes a complete sewer pipe replacement in October 2023 and electrical system upgrades to replace Federal Pacific breakers, demonstrating ongoing infrastructure maintenance.

The building has experienced several concerning issues over the years, most notably in 2018 when there were serious allegations of illegal units, safety hazards, and unauthorized activities at a neighboring property (199 Capp Street). A cluster of violations was recorded in 2001 related to fire safety, including egress obstruction, missing smoke detectors, and fire extinguisher issues, though these were all abated by July 2001. Between 2013 and 2014, multiple complaints indicated tenant concerns about mold, pest infestations, and heating system failures, all of which were subsequently resolved.

The building's mechanical systems have been periodically updated, including the replacement of heaters in all units in 2014. Recent fire safety inspections show multiple violations, including blocked exits (2017) and fire code violations (2019), though no significant fire incidents have been recorded since a building fire in the 2000s that resulted in no civilian injuries. The property has an active complaint from 2024 regarding an abandoned vacant storefront, and there appears to be an unresolved complaint about a possible illegal unit from 2015.
