Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 3242-3248 Anza Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Joanne Moon Quan, has a significant history of maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 1920. Most recently, in 2025, plumbing work was performed on the sewer lateral within the sidewalk. The building has undergone several major improvements over the years, including a 150-amp electrical service upgrade with back stairway lighting in 2003, window replacements in 2004 (though some permits expired), and historical records indicate reroofing in 1992 and compliance upgrades in 1983.

The property has faced multiple compliance challenges, particularly notable in 2003 when several violations were filed and subsequently abated, including issues with fire safety (lack of fire extinguishers and combustible storage concerns), building weatherproofing, and gas utility shutoff tools. A 2012 inspection revealed problems with rotted rear exterior stairs and fire extinguisher requirements. More recent concerns emerged in 2020 regarding unpermitted remodeling work in a vacant unit. The building's maintenance history includes a complaint in 1997 about various unit-specific issues, such as non-functioning windows, ceiling cracks, and potential water tank hazards. While many historical violations have been resolved, the property has experienced ongoing issues with parking violations and street maintenance needs in the surrounding area, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in 2024 regarding parking and sanitation issues near the building.

Risk rating

How 3242-3248 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.
