Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Lone Mountain neighborhood, 916-918 Anza St is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Christopher M. Menke. The property has undergone several significant renovations, most notably in 2009 when comprehensive kitchen updates were performed in both units, including new cabinets, appliances, electrical work, flooring, and windows at a cost of approximately $37,600. More recent improvements include plumbing and electrical upgrades completed in 2021, which involved additional kitchen remodels and electrical system enhancements.

The building has faced some maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly concerning lead paint hazards. Multiple violations were recorded between 2022 and 2023, including exterior paint condition issues and weatherproofing concerns, with warnings regarding lead paint hazards. A significant complaint about extreme deferred maintenance and peeling paint was filed in July 2023. The property previously had ventilation system issues in 2019 that were resolved shortly after being reported. Planning records indicate historical issues with illegal short-term rentals, which have since been abated, and there have been attempts at condo conversion that were either withdrawn or marked as informational.

Risk rating

How 916-918 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.
