Initial analysis

The property at 980-986 Capp Street is a two-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building owned by Kerlerec Property LLC and constructed in 1900 in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past two decades, including a major kitchen and bathroom remodeling project in 2012-2013 that involved both plumbing and electrical upgrades, the installation of four meters and 200-amp service, and various maintenance work. Historical records show the building experienced a fire in 1991 (with subsequent repairs to affected units), and in 2003-2004, there were multiple building violations related to safety and maintenance issues, including problems with stairs, smoke detectors, security features, and interior surfaces, all of which were eventually abated. More recent maintenance history includes the resolution of multiple leaks (2012-2014), a 2011 gas houseline extension project, and various structural improvements.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring plumbing and moisture issues, with leaks reported in 2012, 2013, and 2014, and a significant complaint in 2012 detailing multiple maintenance concerns including water issues, bathroom problems, and possible mold. In 2014, a leak complaint was filed, though these issues appear to have been resolved. The property has also undergone several major infrastructure improvements, including reroofing in 2007, stair repairs in 2010, and various safety upgrades. Recent building violations and complaints have largely been addressed, though there have been consistent issues with building maintenance, particularly regarding plumbing systems and moisture control. The property has maintained compliance with current safety requirements, with no active violations on record as of October 2023. While the building has a documented history of maintenance issues, recent improvements and prompt responses to violations suggest a pattern of addressing problems as they arise, though some recurring issues, particularly related to plumbing and moisture, have been noted throughout the building's history.

Risk rating

How 980-986 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.

Neighborhood percentile
18th percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1952 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 26.1%
Moderate concern 25.3%
Severe concern 48.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
