Initial analysis

The three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 290-292 Jersey Street in Noe Valley, owned by Jeffrey Cappo, has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work since its construction in 1909. Most recently, in March 2024, the building received permits for extensive water damage repairs valued at $125,000, including updates to 3.5 bathrooms, kitchen facilities, flooring, drywall, insulation, and twelve non-street-visible windows. Additional ongoing improvements were noted in October 2024, including kitchen electrical modifications and plumbing upgrades, with the installation of a fireplace completed shortly thereafter. The building's history shows substantial work during 2011-2012, including a comprehensive interior remodel of both units, installation of a new fire sprinkler system, and major electrical updates comprising new wiring, lighting, appliances, and smoke detectors.

The property has experienced some issues requiring attention, though all have been resolved. In 2012, there were complaints regarding unauthorized conversion from two units to a single-family home, which were addressed by the completion of proper permits and restorations. Earlier, in 2009, safety concerns were raised about a wooden utility ladder at the rear of the building, which was resolved within a month. Infrastructure improvements include plumbing system overhauls, with records showing completed work on mainline sewer replacement (2010), new waste, gas, and water lines (2011), and various water-related repairs in 2024. The building has experienced two reported sewage backup incidents (2015 and 2010) that were addressed by city services. While there have been several parking-related complaints near the property between 2015-2024, these are external issues not directly related to the building's condition or safety.

Risk rating

How 290-292 Jersey 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 150 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 87.5%
Moderate concern 8.9%
Severe concern 3.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
