Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 2543-2549 Anza Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood was built in 1921 and is currently owned by Yuk Ping Yee & Sik Koon Lew. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over its lifetime, with the most recent major work being street space permits issued in July 2010 and a $9,000 reroofing project completed in October 2009. Previous improvements include electrical upgrades in 2003 adding new lighting and circuits to the back stairway, and substantial structural work in 1993 involving the replacement of rotted wood stairs with new redwood stairs.

The building experienced a cluster of serious violations in late 2004, including issues with deteriorating drainage pipes, lead paint hazards, stair repairs, and fire safety concerns related to combustible storage, though all these violations were officially abated by August 2009. Historical complaints from 1997 noted problems with filthy carpets, a bathroom window lock, rusted bathroom tiles, and heater issues, while a 1999 routine inspection was also recorded. More recent building issues appear to be minimal, with no active housing violations currently on record. The property has generated several standard municipal service calls in recent years, primarily related to parking enforcement and sidewalk maintenance, with the most recent issue being an open sidewalk defect reported in July 2023.

Risk rating

How 2543-2549 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.

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.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 63.4%
Moderate concern 23.0%
Severe concern 13.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
