Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 411-415 Capp Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Michael Zabelle, has undergone significant modifications since 2020, most notably the conversion of the fourth-floor conditioned space into a new unit with living/dining/kitchen area, bathroom, and two bedrooms, including the installation of a roof deck and south elevation skylights. This work included comprehensive fire safety improvements such as a new sprinkler system throughout the fourth floor and egress paths, with associated permit costs totaling approximately $32,000, though some related permits expired without completion. Recent concerns have arisen regarding unpermitted work, with a complaint filed in September 2023 about unauthorized remodeling of the 413 unit's kitchen, bathrooms, porch, and hallway stairs, plus exterior electrical work for lighting and cameras. This situation was addressed through multiple subsequent permits in October 2023, including new cabinets installation and electrical work to abate the complaint.

The building's history includes several notable events, particularly regarding safety compliance. In 2006, violations were documented related to unsafe storage of paints and solvents creating fire hazards, though these were subsequently abated. A significant complaint emerged in April 2020 during the pandemic regarding continued construction work and its impact on resident living conditions, while a routine safety inspection in 2015 and multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding graffiti and waste management have been recorded. The property's infrastructure has seen substantial upgrades, including a 400-amp electrical service installation in 2022, various plumbing system improvements, and multiple building permits related to fire safety systems. Recent maintenance challenges are evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning needs and graffiti, though these issues have typically been resolved promptly through standard city processes.

Risk rating

How 411-415 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, 595 are predicted to be safer.
