1521-1523 Anza St, San Francisco, CA 94118

Located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, 1521-1523 Anza Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908. The property, owned by Yip Rusell Francis, has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent major work being the installation of vinyl siding on two back walls in 2020, at a cost of $15,000. Previous permitted improvements include window replacements (2002), post and pier replacements with dry rot repairs (1999), and a reroofing project (1998).

Historical records from the mid-1990s reveal multiple housing-related complaints between 1994-1995 regarding an alleged illegal in-law/studio unit, persistent roof leaks, electrical problems including frequent fuse outages, and a safety violation involving blocked emergency egress. These complaints were all officially abated by June 1995, though their resolution in the context of the building's history is noteworthy. In terms of recent activity, the building has been subject to multiple parking-related issues in the vicinity, particularly regarding sidewalk parking violations, with at least ten documented enforcement actions between April 2023 and November 2024.

Most of these cases resulted in citations or warnings, suggesting an ongoing parking management challenge in the immediate area. There has been one recorded false fire alarm incident at the address, though no civilian injuries were reported. The building's maintenance record shows attention to structural and weatherproofing improvements over time, though potential concerns from the 1990s regarding unauthorized unit modifications and safety systems should be noted, despite their documented resolution.
