Initial analysis

The property at 2643-2649 Anza Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in the Central Richmond neighborhood, built in 1921 and currently owned by the Joseph & Margaret Loo Revocable Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with multiple permitted projects including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and plumbing improvements. Most notably, there has been consistent investment in modernization, with works completed in 2020, 2021, and ongoing in 2024, including a 400-amp electrical service upgrade in 2020 and the installation of new plumbing fixtures throughout.

The property has a history of addressing structural and safety concerns, including voluntary lateral strengthening work completed in 2019. A notable building complaint was filed in 2003 regarding paint chips falling from the building, though this incident was marked as active, and there was a complaint about combustible storage that was resolved by December 2003. Recent activities include a public complaint in October 2024 alleging unpermitted construction work, though this was closed within two days of filing, and a historical change of use violation in 2020 concerning a garage conversion to business use, which was resolved in early 2021. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure, including multiple roofing permits and significant plumbing work, particularly in 2019 when both the sewer line and water-related systems were updated. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external issues such as parking violations and sidewalk concerns, rather than building-specific problems, indicating that major structural and safety systems have received recent improvements and upgrades.

Risk rating

How 2643-2649 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
28th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1620 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 78.5%
Moderate concern 13.7%
Severe concern 7.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
