Initial analysis

The 3-unit, 2-story apartment building at 616 Anza Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by Wong Hoy M, has been through several significant events since its construction in 1972. The building underwent a reroofing project in 2006 costing $7,500, and has had three documented routine housing inspections between 1999 and 2011. The most concerning issues occurred in late 2000, when multiple safety violations were documented in unit #4, including mildew in the front bathroom, inadequate bathroom ventilation, fire safety concerns such as improperly stored combustible materials in furnace closets, and fire extinguisher maintenance issues - all of which were abated by December 2000. In February 2002, there were security concerns regarding door locks, and in March 2011, additional fire safety violations were noted regarding fire extinguisher maintenance and combustible storage, though these issues had been addressed by October 2011.

More recently, the building's surroundings have experienced various maintenance and enforcement issues, with multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2024 primarily related to parking violations, abandoned vehicles, and street cleaning needs. There have been two instances of graffiti on the mailbox (2022 and 2023), and the most recent complaint in December 2024 involved garbage and debris. While the building itself has not received any major violations since 2011, the cumulative impact of the historical violations suggests a pattern of maintenance and safety concerns that have required ongoing attention over the years. The property and its immediate vicinity continue to experience regular maintenance issues, primarily related to exterior upkeep and parking enforcement, as evidenced by the frequency of 311 calls.

Risk rating

How 616 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
52th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 249 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 76.5%
Moderate concern 14.0%
Severe concern 9.5%
