Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 3820-3822 Anza Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Paul & Elan Quan Family Trust, was constructed in 1953 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a reroofing project completed in 2010 at a cost of $11,750, and multiple exterior enhancements such as vinyl siding installation in 1998 and aluminum siding work in 1988. Of particular note are the building's fire and safety concerns that emerged during a routine inspection in late 2007, which resulted in multiple violations including issues with the fire alarm system, fire extinguishers, combustible storage, and plumbing permits. These violations persisted until their abatement in February 2009, suggesting a period of potential safety concerns. The building's maintenance history includes regular updates to essential systems, such as water heater replacement in 2008, and three routine housing inspections between 1999 and 2010, all of which were resolved.

In recent years, the property has experienced numerous parking-related issues, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking violations, some resulting in citations. While these incidents do not directly affect building safety or habitability, they indicate ongoing challenges with parking management in the area. The building's fire safety systems have experienced two documented incidents - a system malfunction and a false alarm - though neither resulted in civilian injuries. Overall, the property's historical record shows regular maintenance and updates, with past fire safety violations having been addressed, though prospective tenants should be aware of the continuing parking enforcement activities in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 3820-3822 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 315 are predicted to be safer.
