Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 479 33rd Avenue, owned by Arya Anshu, has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work since 2018. Most recently, in December 2023, five retrofit vinyl windows were installed, and in early 2023, a new 240v 50amp circuit with receptacle was added. Between 2020-2022, substantial interior improvements were carried out, including comprehensive bathroom remodels in units #481 (both a full bath and a half bath) in 2022, and a kitchen renovation in 2020 that involved extensive electrical work, including new recessed lighting, outlets, and appliance relocation.

The building's safety systems have required attention over the years, with multiple fire safety-related complaints between 2013-2023. These included issues with alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and combustible materials, though most were promptly addressed and corrected, with the exception of a December 2023 violation regarding sleeping area requirements that remains open. More recently, there has been a recurring issue with garbage collection, with nine overflow incidents reported between late December 2024 and early January 2025, though these were resolved through normal city channels. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both aesthetic and safety improvements, with permits totaling over $100,000 issued for various renovation projects.

Risk rating

How 479-481 33Rd 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
