1012-1014 Capp St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1012-1014 Capp Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Poplar Investment Assocs LLC, was constructed in 1905 and has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime. The most substantial recent renovation occurred in 2012, when approximately $38,000 worth of improvements were made to Unit A, including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, along with comprehensive electrical and plumbing work. This renovation included the installation of new electrical systems (100-amp subpanels, GFI plugs, dedicated appliance circuits), a new gas line system, and a force air furnace, demonstrating a substantial modernization of the unit's infrastructure.

Earlier improvements in 2008 involved the installation of a new 200-amp service with four meters for the ground floor. The building has a history of addressing various safety and maintenance issues, particularly evident in a cluster of violations identified during a routine inspection in 2004, which included problems with egress, fire safety equipment, handrails, smoke detectors, and security features. All of these violations were abated by February 2005.

The building's earlier history shows significant modifications, including a failed 1990 attempt to convert from 2 to 3 units, successful garage hold-down installations in 1992, and a 1990 sprinkler system installation permit (which expired). While the building experienced one fire alarm malfunction incident (with no civilian injuries), there have been no reported fire-related incidents. Recent activity around the property primarily involves parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations issued for blocking driveways between late 2023 and 2024. The most recent service calls in 2024 relate to encampment and debris issues near the property, which were resolved by city services.
