1844-1846 Anza St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 1844-1846 Anza Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1921 and currently owned by Gregory and Jenny Harrington, this building has undergone several significant upgrades in recent years, most notably the installation of solar power systems in 2018-2019, including a substantial 12.099 kW system with 37 modules and a 4.251 kW system with 13 modules. The electrical infrastructure was partially upgraded with a 200A main service panel installation in March 2019.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most concerning being a series of violations in 2017 related to lead paint hazards, including peeling paint on walls and windows, which were abated by September 2017. Earlier violations from 2003 indicated problems with combustible storage, smoke detectors, and plumbing/electrical issues, while the building's history shows recurring water-related problems in the 1990s, including leaks and mold issues. Recent building maintenance work includes reroofing projects in 1998 and 2017, as well as various electrical upgrades.

The property has also undergone some structural improvements, such as aluminum window installation in 1992 and fire-rated wall upgrades in 1997. The area around the building has experienced typical urban issues in recent years, as documented through 311 calls between 2022-2024, including reports of illegal parking, graffiti, and general street cleaning needs. Most recently, there were multiple instances of loose garbage (April 2023, November 2023) and illegal postings in the vicinity. The property underwent a tenant buyout in September 2017, with two tenants receiving $40,000 in compensation, suggesting a significant transition period for the building during that time.
