2828 Anza St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 2828 Anza Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Steven & Dinah M Low, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone several significant changes over its lifetime. Most recently, in January 2023, the building experienced water damage issues affecting common areas and Unit 1, which also had door security concerns.

This complaint triggered multiple interior surface violations related to water damage, mold/mildew, and lead paint concerns, which were abated by April 2023. In 2003, the building was cited for multiple fire safety and security issues, including problems with smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, smoke enclosure doors, and egress obstructions, though these were resolved by August 2003. The building has a documented history of maintenance work, including the removal of an illegal unit in 1994 (costing $7,000), various kitchen remodels in 1988-1989, and window installations in 1986.

Prior to these recent issues, the building faced maintenance challenges in the mid-1990s, including a paint condition complaint in 1996, which was addressed by September 1996. There are no active violations or complaints on file as of the latest records, though two 311 calls were logged in recent years: one in 2024 regarding a bicycle lane obstruction and another in 2022 for a service request, neither of which appear to be directly related to building conditions. The property has undergone various improvements over the years, as evidenced by multiple completed building permits, though some permits from 1989 were either disapproved or had to be continued under new applications.
