Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2-4 Encanto Avenue in Anza Vista, owned by Timmy Terry Tung and Ka Zhang, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1948. The property has seen substantial updating over the past decade, with major work including a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2014 ($30,000), window replacements in 2013 ($16,000), and various electrical upgrades. Most recently, in 2023, the building received electrical improvements including rewiring of kitchen and bathroom fixtures, along with a 8.10 kW solar panel system installation completed in early 2024. The building has maintained active compliance with permit requirements, though there were some historical concerns in 1995 regarding unauthorized modifications and mold issues, which were addressed at that time.

Recent maintenance work includes siding repairs and front stair improvements filed in October 2023. The property has gone through several attempts to add an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) between 2018-2022, though these permits were withdrawn and not completed. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to plumbing systems, including bathroom renovations and kitchen updates, with all recent work receiving proper permits and inspections. There have been multiple parking enforcement issues reported in recent months (2024), with several citations issued for illegal parking in the vicinity of the property, though these are external issues not directly related to the building's condition or management. The most recent fire incident recorded was a false alarm with no civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 2-4 Encanto 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
84th percentile

Out of 136 buildings in this neighborhood, 22 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

DBI complaints, owner's portfolio

Complaints across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 85.1%
Moderate concern 12.0%
Severe concern 2.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
