AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 3144 Anza Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Richard Khoo and Yukha Lam-kh, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure dating back to 1919. The property's maintenance history shows several significant repairs, including a 2022 roof repair using torch roofing material costing $7,500, and historical work completed in 1989 addressing dry rot in the main and rear staircases. Two notable building complaints were filed in August 2020, reporting unauthorized construction work allegedly being performed by Yukha Lam-kh and others, including extensive remodeling with power tools, floor sanding, and interior painting, reportedly in violation of COVID-19 safety guidelines and without proper permits. These complaints, though officially noted as "Not Active," indicate potential concerns about permitting compliance in the building's recent history.

The property has generated multiple street-related complaints and requests for service between 2021 and 2025, with a significant concentration of parking-related issues. These include several instances of illegal parking, with at least three resulting in citations, and complaints about vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks. Other street-related issues include reports of graffiti (2024), garbage and debris (2024), and general cleaning needs (2022). While these external issues don't directly impact building safety or habitability, they provide context about the immediate neighborhood conditions. The most recent permitted work on record is the 2022 roof repair, which should be preferable to the alternative of declining infrastructure, though it's noteworthy that no further building improvements appear on record since that date.

Risk rating

How 3144 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.
