AI summary

The 5-unit, 2-story apartment building at 4300 Anza Street in the Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Lee Derrick Cin-chan, has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1926. The most recent major renovation was completed in 2022, involving kitchen upgrades in Unit #2 including cabinet and countertop replacement. The building has prioritized safety enhancements, completing its soft-story retrofit in 2017 (as a Tier 3 building), and upgrading the fire alarm system in 2018 to comply with current safety standards by installing low-frequency sounders in all units and sleeping areas. Substantial unit improvements have been made, including a $121,000 remodel of Unit #1 in 2017 to add bedrooms and a bathroom, and a 2013 renovation of Unit #4 to add a bedroom and skylights. The building's infrastructure has received attention with a new central heating unit installation in 2017 and electrical system upgrades, including a 200-amp service installation in 2004.

The building experienced a series of fire safety violations in 2003 that were promptly addressed and abated by November 2003, including issues with fire extinguishers, fire proofing materials, and combustible storage. Several complaints were filed in 2007 regarding construction noise and dust during garage work, though these issues were resolved quickly. Recent maintenance concerns have included sidewalk defects reported in 2024, which was noted as collapsed. The property has seen regular upgrades and maintenance over the years, with multiple permits showing systematic improvements to individual units, safety systems, and building infrastructure. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned parking violations and sidewalk issues, while the most recent fire incidents were non-injurious service calls or false alarms.

Risk rating

How 4300 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
29th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 738 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.0%
Moderate concern 17.0%
Severe concern 12.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
