Initial analysis

Capri Towers Apartments, a 36-unit multi-family residential building located at 3740 25th Street in Noe Valley, was constructed in 1931 and stands 6 stories tall. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a $50,000 fire alarm system replacement in 2021 to install new wireless FAS with low-frequency sounders, though this system does not fully meet current 2019 codes. A recent violation was issued in November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements that remains open, though a prior fire alarm system-related violation from 2017 was promptly corrected. The building's infrastructure improvements include a new backflow device for the fire protection system (2018), emergency lighting installation (2018), and a section of sewer pipe replacement (2012). Historical records show some concerning past issues, including a series of water-related problems in 1994-1995 with roof leaks causing damage to ceilings, and a small electrical fire incident in 1995, though these appear to have been permanently resolved.

The property has undergone various maintenance and upgrading works over the years, including a garage modification in 2009 to create a hallway with fire-rated walls, installation of a new steam boiler (2009), and improvements to both kitchen flooring and windows (1991). The building's electrical system received significant attention in the early 2000s with underground service conversion and detailed load calculations conducted in 2003. While there have been multiple 311 calls in recent years, these have mostly related to parking issues and minor building concerns such as illegal postings and temporary sign requests. The fire alarm system has experienced some malfunction-related responses in 2023, though no civilian injuries were reported. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep and addressing of safety requirements, though the recent sleeping area violation and incomplete fire alarm system updates indicate areas requiring ongoing attention.

Risk rating

How 3740 25Th 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.
