Initial analysis

The property at 701 Anza Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, built in 1946 and currently owned by Diana Yee. The building has undergone several significant renovations in recent months, with a completed kitchen remodel in September 2023 costing $43,500, along with corresponding plumbing and electrical work including a new sink installation and updated electrical system. Historical improvements include a 1994 rear deck renovation with fence, stairs, and landing replacement, and a 1993 roofing project, though some permits from these earlier works are no longer valid.

The property has experienced multiple maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, particularly in 2023-2024, including three instances of graffiti (two on the building itself and one on the public sidewalk), one case of illegal parking, and several issues with garbage and debris. There have been three false fire alarms recorded, though none resulted in civilian injuries or confirmed fires. A 2023 Rent Board inquiry led to an adjustment in unit count to reflect the property's two-unit status. The building's recent kitchen modernization appears to be part of proactive maintenance, though the surrounding area has experienced periodic cleanliness and safety issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls related to street conditions and illegal parking.

Risk rating

How 701 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
91th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 47 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 permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled 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.

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 85.9%
Moderate concern 11.1%
Severe concern 3.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
