Initial analysis

The three-story, four-unit apartment building at 1441-1453 Anza Street in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1906 and is currently owned by Chuk Ming & Eileen Ling Fon. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over its history, most notably receiving a complete reroofing in October 2019 at a cost of $15,000, which was properly permitted and completed. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with its ventilation system, as evidenced by multiple repair requirements including a 2019 citation for a defective or missing fresh air inlet and an earlier 2004 violation requiring the installation of a house trap.

The building has undergone regular routine inspections, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's housing safety requirements, though past violations from 2004 required the installation of fire safety equipment including fire extinguishers and gas meter instructions, all of which were subsequently abated. More recent tenant concerns have included reports of persistent machinery noise from the second-floor unit in 2022, which was described as potentially originating from a malfunctioning dryer. The property has also seen numerous reports of infrastructure and maintenance issues in the surrounding area, particularly regarding parking violations and street cleanliness, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2023 and 2024, though these are primarily related to public street maintenance rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 1441-1453 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
22th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1344 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 69.7%
Moderate concern 23.7%
Severe concern 6.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
