Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 395 Capp Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Joseph A & Julianne Schoepp, was constructed in 1911 and has experienced several significant events throughout its history. Most notably, the building suffered fire damage in 2005 requiring extensive repairs to all floors, with subsequent installation of full building sprinklers, a new fire alarm system, and updated electrical service. The fire incident led to the installation of comprehensive safety systems, including 86 sprinkler heads, 12 horns, smoke detectors, and a new security gate, totaling over $100,000 in improvements. More recently, the building has undergone routine safety inspections, with the most recent one in 2023 identifying issues that were subsequently corrected.

The property has had recurring fire safety system issues, with multiple fire alarm system complaints recorded between 2016 and 2023, though all were marked as "Condition Corrected." Historical violations from 2001 and 2015 required various safety improvements, including stairs repair, ventilation updates, and safety equipment checks, all of which were addressed. The building experienced some operational challenges in 2002 when a studio unit was improperly used as a restaurant, though this was quickly resolved. Recent 311 calls from late 2024/early 2025 have primarily concerned external issues like graffiti and sidewalk cleanliness, rather than building safety concerns. The property has maintained active compliance with safety requirements, though its history shows periodic attention needed for various fire safety systems and components.

Risk rating

How 395 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1999 are predicted to be safer.
