Initial analysis

The property at 4930 Anza Street in the Outer Richmond district is a single-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1982, currently owned by Fan Zhi Hui. The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, with the most significant issues emerging during late 2021 when two separate complaints were filed regarding serious problems including dilapidated structure, broken appliances, and fire safety/fire escape concerns, though these cases are now listed as not active. An earlier water-related issue was reported in December 1996 regarding leaks from the ceiling in a child's bedroom, as well as around windows in the living and dining rooms, with these complaints being resolved by February 1997.

In the past year alone, there have been two instances of city garbage cans overflowing (August 2023 and July 2024), though these issues were promptly addressed by Recology. The property has experienced recurring refuse-related problems between late 2021 and late 2022, with multiple reports of street cleaning needs including loose garbage and debris in the vicinity of the building. One parking enforcement issue was documented in November 2022 regarding sidewalk parking, which resulted in a citation. While the building's permits and construction history show proper completion of the original building permit from 1981, the documented complaints and street cleaning issues suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and surrounding area upkeep, particularly in relation to waste management.

Risk rating

How 4930 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
