Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, 2620-2622 Anza Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Chan Paul Wai. The property has undergone several notable improvements over the past decades, including a significant solar energy installation in 2009 consisting of 8 photovoltaic modules with a total inverter rating of 1.4kW, demonstrating an investment in sustainable energy. That same year, the building received window and door replacements along with interior improvements including cabinet and flooring upgrades on the ground floor, though these modifications were not visible from the street. A dry rot repair was completed in 1993 for the third-floor stair landing, addressing what could have been a structural concern.

The building's recent history has been marked by numerous parking-related incidents, particularly between 2019 and 2022, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking spaces. During this period, there were at least eight documented cases of parking violations, resulting in several citations being issued to offending vehicles, though some incidents could not be validated or the vehicles could not be located. The most recent incidents occurred in 2022, including complaints about illegal parking and a general service request that were handled by parking enforcement. The frequency and pattern of these parking-related issues suggest ongoing challenges with parking management in the vicinity, though these external occurrences do not directly impact the building's structural integrity or internal systems.

Risk rating

How 2620-2622 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.
