Initial analysis

The property at 940-944 Capp Street is a 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, containing three units and built in 1906. The building is currently undergoing extensive renovations, with multiple active permits in 2024 totaling over $1 million in work. Major updates include the installation of new HVAC systems throughout, electrical rewiring, plumbing upgrades, and apartment remodeling. Specific improvements involve removing asbestos, installing mini-split heat pump systems, updating electrical wiring to 200-amp service, and renovating kitchen and bathroom facilities. The garage structure is also being addressed, with repairs to dilapidated wood framing and siding, along with door replacements.

The building's history includes notable events such as a 2004 routine housing inspection that identified several security and lead paint issues, all of which were abated by April 2004. A complaint was filed in 2020 regarding unpermitted work and preservation review concerns, and there were water quality issues reported in 1994. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily related to street cleaning issues outside the building, with multiple reports of debris and waste that have generally been resolved by city services. The property has an active planning record for rear cottage repair work, including siding and window repairs, though this appears to be separate from the main building's current renovations. All currently active permits indicate significant ongoing investment in the property's infrastructure and living conditions.

Risk rating

How 940-944 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.
