Initial analysis

The property at 826 Anza Street is a single-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Lone Mountain neighborhood. Built in 1931 and currently owned by Catherine C Gendron 2008 Re, the building has undergone several significant renovations over its lifetime. Most notably, in 2023, substantial improvements were made to the kitchen and bathroom areas, including new countertops, cabinets, flooring, and bathroom fixtures, with the work completed under multiple permits totaling approximately $30,000. These renovations were accompanied by updates to the building's plumbing and electrical systems, including a bathroom and kitchen remodel along with subpanel replacement. The building's maintenance history includes a 1997 reroofing project and a completion of plumbing work in 2012 involving gas houseline extension.

The property has experienced some maintenance issues in the past, including a 1998 electrical complaint regarding kitchen range wiring that was promptly addressed, and a 1997 plumbing issue involving sink leaks and water damage that was resolved within three months. More recent records show various 311 calls primarily related to parking enforcement, sidewalk parking violations, and some public space maintenance issues between 2021 and 2024. There have also been two fire-related incidents recorded in 2023 and 2024 regarding alarm systems, with the 2024 case still showing as open. The most recent construction-related complaint was logged in 2019, though it was determined that no violations were present at the time of inspection.

Risk rating

How 826 Anza 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
