Initial analysis

224 Anza Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by the James Yipshing Chan Revocable Trust and constructed in 1980. The building's maintenance record shows a reroofing project permitted in 1996, though this permit has since expired. The property has experienced significant street cleanliness challenges throughout late 2024, with numerous reports of garbage and debris issues between November and December 2024. The most pressing concerns involve multiple instances of glass debris on the street, totaling at least eight reported cases, along with other types of waste including human waste or urine and various yard waste materials. While these street cleaning issues have generally been resolved by city services, they indicate ongoing cleanliness challenges in the immediate vicinity of the property. A recent parking-related incident involving an abandoned vehicle was reported on December 30, 2024, though this was resolved quickly with the vehicle having departed upon arrival of enforcement personnel.

Risk rating

How 224 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.
