Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 652-658 Capp St in the Inner Mission, owned by Meda Small Properties LLC, was constructed in 1905 and has undergone numerous significant improvements in recent years. Most notably, from 2019-2020, the property received substantial safety upgrades including new fire alarm systems with low-frequency sounders, installation of fire sprinklers in a new ADU, and comprehensive electrical rewiring of all units. The building's infrastructure was significantly modernized with the installation of central heating systems and ducting, along with plumbing improvements including new water lines and bathroom/kitchen renovations in the back house. Recent maintenance includes a water heater replacement in October 2023 and the building has achieved compliance with San Francisco's soft-story requirements (Tier 3) with work completed and CFC issued.

Recent complaints and violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding fire safety equipment and plumbing systems. As of November 2023, there were active violations related to smoke detector and carbon monoxide monitoring compliance, fire extinguisher maintenance, and plumbing permits. There have been three significant complaints in 2023 regarding plumbing issues, water damage, and a gas leak (July 2023), though most historical violations from 2002 related to fire safety equipment have been abated. The building experienced multiple fire alarm system activations (all unintentional) and one contained cooking fire incident, but there have been no reported civilian injuries from these events. Recent 311 calls (2024) primarily relate to sidewalk conditions and debris management outside the building, suggesting ongoing exterior maintenance requirements.

Risk rating

How 652-658 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.
