2910 Anza St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 2910 Anza Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Joseph Tham, was built in 1923 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance issues over its lifetime. The property has a notable history of unauthorized modifications, including two major violations in 2006-2007 concerning illegal construction of an in-law unit and conversion of basement space to habitable use, which were eventually abated in 2013. The building also experienced multiple safety compliance issues in 2000 related to fire safety equipment, smoke detectors, and door closers, though these were resolved within two months.

More recent improvements include window replacements in 2008 for Units #1 and #3, reroofing in 2011, and a street space permit issued in 2013. The building has experienced minimal fire-related incidents, with only one documented gasoline spill and a CO detector malfunction, neither resulting in civilian injuries. Recent external concerns have been primarily related to urban maintenance issues, including tree management and sidewalk cleanliness, with several 311 calls in 2024 about overgrown trees, debris, and one report of a damaged tree.

Two illegal short-term rental complaints were filed against the property, though these were addressed by the City and the associated applications were denied. The most recent significant building-related issue was a construction complaint in August 2024, related to noise, which was transferred to the Department of Building Inspection for follow-up. According to city records, the property has maintained compliance with basic building safety requirements since addressing the 2000 and 2006-2007 violations, with no active building code violations as of the latest data.
