Initial analysis

The Yan Family Revocable Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 390-392 Capp Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. Built in 1907, this flats and duplex-style property has undergone significant renovations and faced several recent challenges. In 2019, substantial improvements were made to the building, including a complete reroofing project costing $14,500 and extensive interior renovations on both the ground and second floors, featuring new kitchens, bathrooms, and electrical systems. These improvements also included foundation work and staircase rebuilding, totaling over $200,000 in permitted construction costs.

Most concerning are the current active building violations filed in December 2024, which include multiple issues related to electrical safety (e.g., faulty outlets, access to overcurrent protection devices), fire safety concerns (e.g., fire extinguisher maintenance), and interior maintenance problems (e.g., floor covering repairs). A recent tenant complaint from December 2024 highlights ongoing management response issues, particularly regarding a converted garage space with reported problems including non-functioning kitchen outlets, drainage issues, door access problems, and inadequate management communication. The building's history includes some past tenant buyout activity, with two units receiving a total of $50,361.14 in 2016. The property is subject to regular municipal inspections and has experienced various 311 service requests in the vicinity, though these primarily relate to street cleaning and parking matters rather than building-specific issues. Separate from building systems, there have been three recorded fire incidents at the address, all of which were contained and resulted in no injuries.

Risk rating

How 390-392 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, 357 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.3%
Moderate concern 11.8%
Severe concern 17.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
