Initial analysis

The property at 601 Capp Street is a two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, containing three units and constructed in 1941, with additional commercial space. The most recent significant building maintenance work was a complete reroofing project completed in 2014 at a cost of $7,500, following an earlier roof-related permit from 1994 which had expired. The building's recent history (2024) has been marked by numerous sanitation issues, with eight separate reports of garbage and debris involving street cleaning services, including incidents of yard waste and abandoned items like a mattress. There were also two reported incidents of illegal parking/driveway blocking in late 2024, though parking enforcement officers were unable to validate these complaints.

The property has experienced two fire-related incidents: one involving outside rubbish or waste fire and another related to a malfunctioning smoke detector, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. In September 2024, there were reports of non-offensive graffiti on both the sidewalk in front of the property and on a city receptacle. The most recent building-related activity on record was a street space permit issued in 2016, though the minimal cost of $1.00 suggests this was likely a procedural matter rather than a significant project. The building's documented history shows regular maintenance patterns typical for its age, though the recent surge in street cleaning incidents suggests ongoing challenges with debris management in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 601 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.
