Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1812-1816 Anza Street, owned by Rebecca Nichols and located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, was constructed in 1915 and currently contains three units. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, including the completion of a new dwelling unit on the ground floor (July 2024), installation of a new fire alarm system and sprinkler monitoring system (October 2020), and comprehensive fire safety upgrades including 21 new fire sprinklers throughout the ground floor and basement (September 2020). Multiple permits have been issued in 2024 to obtain final inspections for previously approved work, totaling several thousand dollars in improvements, including plumbing work for a new fire service connection and electrical upgrades for the new dwelling unit.

The building's maintenance history reveals recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple fire code violations documented between 2014 and 2024, including electrical clearance issues, sprinkler obstructions, and alarm system maintenance problems. Most recently, in November 2024, the property received violations related to electrical work space clearance, space heaters, sprinkler system issues, and fire extinguisher service requirements. These violations have been marked as abated, indicating they were addressed by the property owner. The building has also experienced periodic issues with illegal parking, garbage disposal, and street lighting outside the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024, though these are not directly related to building safety or maintenance. Additionally, planning records indicate efforts to convert the ground floor into meeting space for a religious institution were proposed but ultimately disapproved, and there have been various renovation projects over the years including bathroom and laundry room remodels, steam furnace installation, and electrical system upgrades.

Risk rating

How 1812-1816 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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Building age

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.2%
Moderate concern 14.4%
Severe concern 2.5%
