Initial analysis

1045 Capp Street is a four-story, 30-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Mhdc Abel Gonzalez Lp in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive $1.5 million renovation in 2019 that included accessibility upgrades, kitchen improvements, window replacement, lighting upgrades, exterior painting, bathroom ventilation systems, and heating system modernizations. Subsequent safety improvements included the installation of a new fire alarm system with automatic detection and elevator interface in 2021 (cost: $77,540), evacuation maps in 2020, and additional fire sprinklers in 2020.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety challenges over the years, including chronic heating system problems evidenced by multiple complaints between 2006 and 2014 regarding inadequate heat and malfunctioning thermostats. More recent issues include a sleeping area requirement violation issued in November 2023 and a boiler permit renewal matter in 2021. The property underwent extensive unit-by-unit renovations between 2019 and 2021, including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, lighting replacements, and heating system improvements in various units (105, 111, 201, 202, 207, 208, 209, 302, 307, 309). The building has experienced multiple fire system activations, including unintentional activations and detector issues, though no serious fire incidents or civilian injuries have been recorded. Recent maintenance work includes the installation of a backflow preventer in 2024, though several plumbing permits from 2019-2020 are listed as expired. The property has a historical pattern of heating-related complaints, with violations abated in 2014 and 2021, suggesting ongoing attention to HVAC system reliability.

Risk rating

How 1045 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.
