Initial analysis

The four-unit, two-story apartment building at 2835 Anza St, constructed in 1923 in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2013, the property faced multiple building code violations related to safety systems and maintenance, including problems with fire extinguishers, damaged bathroom walls, wood stairs, window assemblies, and missing door keys, as well as concerns about lead paint contamination. These violations, along with complaints of mold problems and ventilation issues, were addressed and abated by November 2013. The building's recent history shows attention to basic maintenance, with a roof replacement permitted in 2013, though an attempted interior remodel of unit #2 in 2008 was ultimately cancelled.

The property has undergone several regulatory reviews and enforcement actions related to its unit configuration and safety systems. In 1997-1998, there was a focus on legalizing the ground floor's use after storage use violations were identified. Earlier improvements include the installation of aluminum windows in the 1980s. Recent years have seen numerous parking-related enforcement calls near the property, particularly regarding sidewalk parking violations, though these are external to the building's condition and maintenance. The building's violation history reveals a pattern of deferred maintenance and compliance issues that were eventually resolved, with the most recent major intervention occurring in 2013. Since then, there have been no recorded building violations or major complaints, suggesting improved management of the property's condition and regulatory requirements, though periodic parking enforcement issues near the property persist.

Risk rating

How 2835 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

Number of units

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
