Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 1726 Anza Street in the Inner Richmond, owned by Mcguire Family Properties L, has faced several significant maintenance challenges in recent years. The property, constructed in 1963, experienced multiple water-related issues in 2023, including complaints about water damage and mold in February that led to repair work in Units 5 and 6, and ongoing problems with washing machine flooding in the garage. Recent maintenance records from 2023 show the installation of a new sliding door in Unit 5, compliance work on dryer vents, and the replacement of gas furnaces. The building's history includes a cluster of violations in January 2003 related to fire safety and security, including smoke detector requirements and self-closing door mandates, though these were all abated by March 2003.

The property has undergone various improvement efforts over the years, including sprinkler installation in 1984 to comply with fire safety regulations. More recent repairs have focused on addressing water damage and ventilation issues, with multiple permits issued in 2023 for interior repairs, waterproofing, and appliance maintenance. The building has experienced recurring heating and water-related problems, as evidenced by multiple tenant complaints from 2021 through 2023 regarding mold, water damage, and heating system deficiencies. While some of these issues have been addressed through permits and repairs, the pattern of plumbing and water-related problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's exterior maintenance history shows regular attention to safety and compliance issues, with recent work focusing on improving safety systems such as dryer ventilation and addressing water damage in multiple units.

Risk rating

How 1726 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.
