Initial analysis

The three-story, 9-unit apartment building at 4340 Anza Street in the Outer Richmond, owned by Nicholas M & Vicky S Vrihea, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades since its construction in 1927. Most recently, in late 2024, repairs were made to the rear stairs including painting and lighting improvements, along with the installation of smoke detectors. The building has addressed several important safety requirements, including a completed fire alarm system upgrade in October 2024 to meet current fire code requirements, and previous stucco repairs in 2023 which addressed both cosmetic issues and potential dry rot concerns.

The property has a documented history of fire safety violations, with multiple citations for issues related to fire extinguishers, alarm systems, and fire escape maintenance between 2017 and 2024. Recent complaints from October 2024 indicate ongoing concerns with exterior stairs, including loose floorboards and problems with fire escape landings. The building has completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit program requirements as a Tier 3 building, though there were previous compliance issues noted in 2021. Historical maintenance work includes foundation work in 1992 and various repairs throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, including a street space permit and garage modifications. The building's recent history shows attention to compliance with safety codes, though issues with exterior maintenance and safety systems appear to persist.

Risk rating

How 4340 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
