Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3718 Anza Street, owned by Joe Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure located in the Central Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1948. The property's maintenance history shows recurring issues with water-related problems, most significantly documented in a 2012 complaint regarding leaking windows with rotten wood frames that were causing mold issues, which was addressed within approximately six weeks. Earlier issues included a heater malfunction with an odor problem reported in 2004 (resolved in three months) and a leaking roof with water damage documented in 1998 (resolved in about six weeks). More recently, the building experienced a sewage backup incident in April 2011 that required attention from the PUC Sewer Operations.

The property has generated several 311 calls since 2019, primarily related to parking violations in the vicinity, including reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, though these external issues do not directly affect the building's condition. There have been two general cleaning complaints about loose garbage in the area (January 2013 and February 2023), which were resolved. While the building's documented history shows periodic maintenance issues, many of the older housing-related complaints were addressed fairly promptly, and there have been no reported housing violations in recent years.

Risk rating

How 3718 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.
