Initial analysis

The property at 1112-1116 Capitol Avenue is a three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Richard San Mames. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2014 at a cost of $80,000 (Tier 3), and a comprehensive re-roofing project in 2021 costing $19,300. Window improvements have been a focus of maintenance, with multiple upgrades from wood to aluminum including a 2000 project replacing seven windows with double-glazed aluminum casement windows. The building has experienced periodic maintenance and inspection challenges, particularly in 2013 when multiple violations were documented including issues with plumbing, windows, weatherproofing, fire extinguishers, and security requirements, though all were subsequently abated.

Recent activity suggests ongoing external maintenance needs, with several 311 calls in late 2024 relating to garbage and debris cleanup on the property grounds, and two instances of driveway blocking requiring parking enforcement intervention. Historically, the building had some fire safety concerns in 2001 requiring the installation of smoke detectors and other safety improvements, and a hoarding incident was reported and resolved in 2021. The property has undergone regular housing inspections throughout the years, with the most recent being a routine inspection in 2013. Planning records indicate no pending development issues. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges over the years, recent improvements such as the completed soft-story retrofit and re-roofing project demonstrate ongoing commitment to maintaining building safety and standards.

Risk rating

How 1112-1116 Capitol Ave'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

Out of 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 105 are predicted to be safer.
