Initial analysis

849-853 Capp Street is a two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, containing 5 units and owned by Marco L & Esperanza M Cresp. Built in 1900, the property has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, including a complete reroofing project in 2017 costing $7,900 and the installation of new energy-efficient windows in 2006. The building experienced a clustered set of safety violations in early 2004, which were all addressed and abated by June 2004, involving issues with fire safety equipment, smoke detectors, stairs, and gas meter instructions. Compliance work for these violations was completed with a permit cost of $500.

Historic maintenance records show attention to building upkeep, including exterior wall repairs in 1999 and water damage remediation in 1998, though some of these repairs occurred several years apart. The property's plumbing system received an upgrade in 2011 with the extension of all five gas houselines. More recent history (2023-2024) shows several service requests primarily related to street and sidewalk cleaning, with multiple reports of loose garbage on the property periphery being addressed. There have been some parking enforcement issues noted in 2024, though these are external to the building itself. The only recorded emergency incident was a medical service response that resulted in no civilian injuries. The building's documented history suggests regular maintenance and prompt attention to safety violations when they occurred, with no active violations or complaints as of the current date.

Risk rating

How 849-853 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.
