Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 340 Capp Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission, owned by Jay Poindexter, was constructed in 1989 and stands three stories tall. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, including window replacements in 2011 (both visible and non-visible from the street), a complete reroofing in 2010 costing $20,000, and the resolution of multiple building violations in early 2004 related to fire safety, smoke detection, plumbing, and electrical systems that were all abated within two months. A concerning complaint regarding unauthorized construction work was filed in 2022, though it was subsequently marked as not active. The building's fire safety record shows only false alarms or system malfunctions from 2014 to 2020, with no civilian injuries reported in any incidents.

Recent activity around the property has mainly consisted of external maintenance and parking-related issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and illegal parking in the vicinity. These calls, all resolved through various enforcement actions, suggest ongoing challenges with street maintenance and parking enforcement in the immediate area. While the building has maintained basic safety compliance following the 2003-2004 violations, there have been no major building permits or improvements recorded in recent years, and the most recent routine safety inspection on record dates back to 2015. The property's historical records show a significant enforcement action in 1992 regarding an illegal kitchen in the basement, which was properly resolved at that time.

Risk rating

How 340 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, 976 are predicted to be safer.
