Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 1828-1830 Anza Street in the Inner Richmond, built in 1917, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years. Most recently, in 2022, the property completed a thorough update of its heating systems with four furnace changeouts, demonstrating ongoing infrastructure maintenance. In 2015, substantial work was carried out to address safety concerns, including the replacement of a deteriorated second stairway at a cost of $15,000 and the issuance of multiple street space permits. Prior to this, the building received a new roof in 2014 (costing $13,600) and underwent critical plumbing work with a sewer line and house trap replacement, though this permit expired before completion.

The building has a history of addressing safety and compliance issues, including notable violations in 2003 regarding fireproofing and lobby smoke detectors, which were resolved by June 2003. A routine inspection in 2011 identified concerns about exterior wooden fixed roof access utility ladders, though this violation was also marked as not active. The property's maintenance record shows attention to structural integrity, with earlier repairs including brick work on the building's front in 1989, and efforts to address various infrastructure needs across decades. Recent external issues reported through 311 calls have primarily related to parking and sidewalk concerns in the vicinity, rather than direct building maintenance issues. The most recent major building-related work was documented in 2023, with the construction of a new staircase between lightwells, indicating continued investment in building safety and accessibility.

Risk rating

How 1828-1830 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

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 66.6%
Moderate concern 22.1%
Severe concern 11.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
