Initial analysis

This two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located at 966-972 Capp Street in the Inner Mission was built in 1904 and is currently owned by Mark Lambros Kurzenhauser. The building has undergone several significant electrical updates in recent years, most notably in December 2020 when all four units had their Federal Pacific sub-panels replaced, indicating attention to modern safety standards. The property had a major set of violations documented in November 2002 that remained until December 2004, including issues with fire proofing, mold/mildew, lead-based paint concerns, and various other interior surface problems that were all subsequently addressed. These violations were particularly notable for their breadth, covering building safety, interior surfaces, electrical systems, and plumbing. The building also experienced recurring heating system issues in the mid-1990s and early 2000s, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and heater functionality, though more recent heating-related complaints have been less frequent.

Earlier historical improvements to the building's infrastructure include repairs to stairs and landings due to dry rot in 1991, installation of aluminum siding in 1984, and various electrical upgrades in the early 2000s including baseboard heater installations and feeder upgrades. More recently, the property has experienced some routine maintenance issues reflected in 311 calls, particularly regarding sidewalk conditions and street cleaning needs between 2021-2023, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The most recent fire complaint regarding combustible materials occurred in 2006, which was promptly resolved. The building's permit and violation history suggests a pattern of proactive maintenance and compliance, particularly in addressing older code violations and upgrading electrical systems, though the earlier period of significant violations in 2002-2004 indicates there was a time when the building required substantial remedial work to meet safety and habitability standards.

Risk rating

How 966-972 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.
