919-921 Capp St

The two-unit residential building at 919-921 Capp Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history. Most recently, in late 2022, the property faced serious habitability concerns involving multiple violations that were documented in November 2022 and abated by December 2022, including lack of heat, various plumbing and electrical problems, general dilapidation, and inadequate safety features such as missing smoke detectors. These violations were particularly alarming, with one complaint in November 2022 reporting feces leaking from the ceiling and visible toxic waste, though this complaint was ultimately closed in January 2023. Historical records show prior maintenance issues, including a 1998 complaint about roof leaks, plumbing problems, broken stairs, and debris storage in the basement, which were resolved by December 1998. Building modifications have included exterior maintenance work in 2001 involving stucco replacement and a 2011 plumbing permit for gas houseline extensions at both units. More recent minor issues include an overflowing city garbage can reported in April 2024, a noise complaint in January 2020, and a graffiti incident in February 2018, though these are not directly related to building habitability. The property's history suggests periodic maintenance challenges, with the most concerning recent violations occurring in late 2022, though these were addressed within approximately two weeks of being cited.
