Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 212-214 Anza Street, located in San Francisco's Lone Mountain neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Chang Kan Chong and Li Xia Li. The building has undergone some documented improvements over the years, including a permitted kitchen and bathroom remodel in unit 214 in 2006 valued at $10,000, while several older permits for sidewalk repairs from 2001 and step repairs from 1984 are now expired.

Recent history from 2024-2025 shows the property has experienced significant external challenges, with multiple reports of garbage and debris on the surrounding sidewalks, including incidents involving furniture and other waste that required response from Recology and Public Works Street Cleaning services. There appears to be an ongoing issue with driveway blocking, with several parking enforcement calls, though not all were able to be validated by responding officers. A tree root-related sidewalk lifting problem reported in July 2024 remains open and unresolved as of the latest data. The building has experienced several elevator-related incidents requiring emergency response, including at least one case of victim extraction from a stalled elevator, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries. Additionally, there have been multiple false alarms and a water-related issue requiring fire department response, none of which posed direct threats to residents.

Risk rating

How 212-214 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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.8%
Moderate concern 17.3%
Severe concern 3.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
