332-338 Capp St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 332-338 Capp Street in the Inner Mission, built in 1907, has undergone significant safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in October 2023, the building completed a substantial fire alarm system upgrade costing nearly $48,000 to bring it into compliance with current fire code requirements, following a series of fire-related complaints about extinguishers and alarms between 2012 and 2022, all of which were resolved with conditions corrected.

The building has also successfully completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit (classified as Tier 3) in 2016-2017, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent building maintenance inspections in October 2023 revealed several violations related to fire safety, including issues with combustible storage and requirements for smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, though these were abated by December 2023. The building's electrical infrastructure received an upgrade in 2013 with the installation of a 400-amp service with 13 meters.

Historical records show multiple routine inspections and some maintenance issues over the years, including a significant sewage incident in 2003 involving the adjacent property at 326 Capp Street. While there have been recurring issues with graffiti on and around the property between 2015 and 2021, most recently in 2019-2021, many of these were resolved promptly. The property has maintained active management of safety systems, as evidenced by regular fire safety inspections and prompt responses to violations, though the building's history shows a pattern of periodic fire safety and maintenance compliance issues that required attention and correction.
