Initial analysis

The 319-323 Capp Street building is a four-story, 7-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1909, currently owned by Leung Shuk Ching. The property has undergone significant recent improvements to enhance safety and add living space, including the addition of unit #7 on the first floor in 2017, and an attempted addition of unit #8 in 2020, though this permit was only filed. Major safety upgrades were completed in 2018-2019, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the ground floor and a new fire alarm system with sprinkler monitoring capabilities. The building also completed a soft-story seismic retrofit program in 2018, achieving Tier 3 compliance.

Recent improvements to the building's infrastructure include a roof replacement in 2020 and an electrical service upgrade in 2022. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in the past, including multiple complaints about unauthorized units in the garage area between 2005-2009, and various housing code violations in 2002 related to fire safety, handrails, stairs, and sanitation, all of which were abated by September 2002. While there have been multiple reports of illegal units and construction work without permits in previous years, the building's more recent history suggests improved compliance with building codes and safety requirements. The property has also been the subject of numerous 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to garbage and debris issues in the surrounding area, with recent calls in October 2024 specifically mentioning concerns about furniture and sidewalk clearance. The building's fire incident record shows several false alarms and system malfunctions, but no actual fires or civilian injuries have been reported.

Risk rating

How 319-323 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.
