Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 915-917 Capp Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1910 and currently owned by the Lee Family Trust A. The building's maintenance record shows several significant safety improvements, including the installation of hardwired smoke detectors in all sleeping rooms in 1993 and a gas houseline extension completed in 2011, which addressed both units' gas supply requirements. An earlier structural modification was made in 1984 when the garage door jambs were modified to install masonry bases.

The property has generated multiple 311 calls over the past several years, with the most recent being an open noise complaint from September 2024. While these calls generally relate to street and sidewalk maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns, they do provide some insight into the immediate neighborhood conditions. The building's surroundings have experienced recurring issues with loose garbage (reported in 2017, 2021, and twice in 2022), and there were incidents involving waste removal needs in 2022. There have been several complaints about waste receptacle management, including reports of containers being left out continuously in 2018 and 2012. Historical modifications to the building include safety improvements such as the aforementioned smoke detector installation and garage modification, with no recorded building code violations or safety incidents that would significantly impact resident experience.

Risk rating

How 915-917 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
88th percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 286 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.3%
Moderate concern 14.9%
Severe concern 6.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
