Initial analysis

The Ung Family Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 471 Capp Street in the Inner Mission, which was built in 1941. The property has undergone several maintenance and repair projects over the years, with the most recent significant work occurring in 2017, when the lower unit (473) received window replacements and balcony repairs to address dry rot, costing approximately $2,000. The building faced a cluster of violations in late 2017, primarily related to interior maintenance issues, including problems with doors, windows, floors, and a shower door, as well as concerns about lead paint hazards and the need for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. These violations were all officially abated by July 2018.

Recent history of the property shows ongoing external challenges, particularly in late 2023 and early 2024, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and sanitation issues in the vicinity, including instances of human waste on the street. There have also been recent concerns about parking enforcement and street cleaning, with some cases still showing as open in 2024. The building's historical maintenance record shows other past improvements, including vinyl siding installation in 2001 and a reroofing project in 1996, though both these permits have since expired. While the building underwent significant repairs in 2017 to address various maintenance issues, the property has experienced continued external environmental challenges in its immediate surroundings, as evidenced by the numerous 311 calls in recent months.

Risk rating

How 471 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.
