AI summary

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 3734-3736 Anza Street in Central Richmond, constructed in 1986, has undergone several notable renovations and modifications throughout its history. The most recent significant interior improvement was completed in 2016, involving a $16,500 kitchen remodel in Unit #3 that included cabinet replacement, new floor tiles, and granite installation. Between 1996-1997, multiple permits were issued and subsequently expired or were renewed, including attempts to convert two units into one dwelling, legalize a studio unit in the garage, and implement a sprinkler system, though it appears these modifications were not fully realized. Two routine housing inspections were conducted in 1999 and 2004, both of which were resolved by 2009.

Recent activity around the property has been primarily related to exterior maintenance and neighborhood concerns, with multiple reports of loose garbage requiring street and sidewalk cleaning in August and September 2023. There have also been several parking-related incidents recorded between 2017-2020, including blocked driveways and illegal parking, though these were addressed through proper channels. The building's documented history suggests regular upkeep, with most major renovation work having been completed by 2016, while more recent issues have been primarily related to street-level maintenance and parking enforcement rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 3734-3736 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
83th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 382 are predicted to be safer.
