237-239 Capp St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 237-239 Capp Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. Built in 1900 and currently owned by SF Mission Properties LLC, this flats and duplex building has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns. In 2001, a significant inspection revealed multiple violations including security issues (deadlatch locks and self-closing devices at exterior doors), fire safety concerns (missing fire escape drop ladder and egress obstructions), and building maintenance issues (roof deck repair needed).

All these violations were abated by May 29, 2001. Prior to these violations, the building underwent several permitted improvements including reroofing in 1999, kitchen remodeling in 1992, and front and rear stair repairs in 1988, though all of these permits are now expired. More recent history shows the building has faced various challenges, including a 2014 complaint about dilapidation and maintenance issues, and a 2011 health and safety routine inspection.

There was also an illegal occupancy violation recorded in September 2022. The property has been subject to numerous 311 calls in the past three years (2021-2024), primarily related to street cleaning and debris removal, though these are external to the building itself. A series of fire violations were documented in October 2022 at a neighboring address (251 Capp Street), including issues with extinguishers, gas containers, exit sign illumination, and sprinkler systems, though these were subsequently abated. The building's most recent recorded fire incident was in January 2019, with no injuries reported and the situation classified as a "good intent call, other."
