611 Capp St

Inner Mission, SF 94110 3615001F 2 units · 2 fl · 1941

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 611 Capp St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1941

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Built 1941
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 611 Capp Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1941 and currently owned by the Law Family Trust. The building's maintenance record shows minimal activity, with only one significant permit on file from 1995 for reroofing work, though this permit has since expired. A building complaint recorded in 1994 required attention to security and safety features, including the removal of a double cylinder dead bolt from an iron gate, replacement of cracked bedroom window glazing, and clearance of pine needles and magazines from a staircase base, though this complaint was promptly abated within one day.

In recent months, the property has experienced persistent issues with driveway access, with ten documented complaints about vehicles blocking the driveway between June and December 2024. While some of these incidents resulted in citations, others could not be validated by responding officers, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management in the vicinity. It's noteworthy that while the address of the complaint is 611 Capp Street, the actual tenant buyout records show a separate transaction at 619 Capp Street from December 2015, involving one tenant receiving a $30,000 buyout, though this is not directly related to the current property in question. The building's documented history shows relatively few maintenance issues or complaints over the decades, with the majority of recent concerns focusing on parking and driveway access rather than building safety or maintenance.

Risk rating

How 611 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
52ndpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1142 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Per-building permit rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
