Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2818 Anza Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1961 and is currently owned by Jj & Pp Real Estate LLC. The property underwent significant mandatory improvements between 2016-2018, including a comprehensive soft-story seismic retrofit completed in 2018 (Tier 3), which involved the removal of all parking spaces and the addition of two units at the garage level at a cost of $204,000. This seismic upgrade was followed by the installation of a new fire sprinkler system throughout the ground floor in 2017 ($9,900), and a modern fire alarm system with smoke detectors and notification devices in 2018 ($15,000), including low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas as required by the San Francisco Fire Code. The building also received substantial plumbing and electrical upgrades during this period, including the installation of new gas heaters, bathroom additions, and complete electrical system modernization, particularly in the basement and unit areas.

Historical records indicate some maintenance issues in the late 1980s with stucco repairs, and a fire escape ladder violation in 2004 which was promptly resolved within two months. The building has experienced several routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1999 and 2004, with no significant ongoing violations. More recent history from 2018 shows typical urban challenges including construction-related parking issues and responses to various municipal service requests, primarily related to street and sidewalk conditions. The most recent activity at the address includes three parking enforcement incidents in 2023-2024, though these are external to the building's operations. The property's substantial seismic and safety improvements over 2016-2018 represent a significant investment in resident safety and building modernization.

Risk rating

How 2818 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
22th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1755 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.2%
Moderate concern 17.2%
Severe concern 10.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
