626 Capp St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building at 626 Capp Street, owned by Brickendown LLC, was constructed in 1927 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $70,000, bringing it into compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent building complaints from October 2023 highlighted multiple mechanical violations and safety concerns, including issues with the fire escape ladder, combustible storage, and the need for various safety compliance affidavits, though these complaints were subsequently abated.

The building has experienced several fire-related incidents, primarily involving false alarms and detector activations, with one actual building fire recorded, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries. The property's maintenance history includes various improvements and repairs, such as vinyl siding installation in 2009, a dedicated garage receptacle installation in 2015, and a reroofing project completed in 1995. Routine safety inspections have been conducted regularly, with most issues being promptly addressed.

The building's mechanical systems have required attention over the years, as evidenced by violations requiring boiler permit compliance and maintenance of various safety systems. Recent 311 calls in 2023-2024 primarily relate to external issues such as sidewalk cleaning and waste removal, rather than building-specific concerns. While there have been several general maintenance complaints filed over the years, most have been resolved without significant ongoing issues, though the recent cluster of violations from 2023 suggests some current maintenance challenges.
