Initial analysis

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.

Risk rating

How 1844-1846 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

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1103 are predicted to be safer.

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.

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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.6%
Moderate concern 20.9%
Severe concern 8.5%
