55 Capistrano Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 55 Capistrano Ave in Mission Terrace, constructed in 1913, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various permit-related activities over the years. Most notably, a major renovation project was filed in February 2021 involving substantial modifications to load-bearing walls and bathroom/kitchen improvements, though this permit shows as filed rather than completed.

The building underwent electrical system upgrades in 2011, including a new service panel and rewiring of the second floor, along with plumbing improvements such as a gas line extension in 2013. A concerning complaint in 2008 regarding possible illegal units on the second floor raised safety concerns about fire escapes and dark hallways, though this complaint was marked as not active by April 2010. More recently, there have been multiple infrastructure issues reported on and around the property between 2024-2025, including collapsed and lifted sidewalks, a defective curb, and various parking enforcement matters, though these are primarily external to the building itself.

The building's safety record shows no significant fire incidents or injuries, with two false fire alarm calls recorded and no merit found in past fire complaints regarding alarm systems and combustible materials. Previous maintenance work has included reroofing in 2011, garage modifications, and window installations in 1983. The property appears to be actively maintained, though the status of recent permit applications and ongoing infrastructure issues may warrant attention.
