Initial analysis

This 1906 multi-family residential building located at 1612-1614 Anza Street in the Inner Richmond neighborhood has undergone significant changes and faced several challenges over the past decade. Originally a one-unit structure, it was converted into a two-unit building between 2013-2015, following multiple complaints regarding illegal unit modifications and various safety concerns, including rodent infestations, plumbing issues, and unauthorized construction work. During 2014-2015, the property underwent substantial permitted renovations including foundation repairs, roof replacement, and the legalization of additional living spaces, though this work was initially triggered by violations for unauthorized construction.

More recently, the building has experienced recurring sewer issues, with three documented sewage backup incidents in 2024 alone, specifically from the side sewer vent, indicating potential ongoing plumbing system challenges. A significant infrastructure upgrade was completed in August 2024 with the installation of a new sewer street trap and associated piping. The property has also required multiple street space permits over the years, and while most major building improvements were properly permitted and completed, they were initially prompted by various code enforcement actions. The building's history includes several maintenance and compliance issues that suggest past concerns about resident safety and habitability during the period of unauthorized unit conversion and construction, though these appear to have been addressed through subsequent proper permitting and repairs.

Risk rating

How 1612-1614 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, 500 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

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 82.6%
Moderate concern 12.9%
Severe concern 4.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
