Initial analysis

The Chiu Family Revocable Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 2921-2923 Anza Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1915, this flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most substantial renovation occurring in 2001 when both kitchens received electrical and plumbing upgrades along with sheetrock wall replacements, a project valued at $8,000. Historical maintenance records show a reroofing project and window replacements in 1996, though these permits have since expired, and a completed repair of a 30' x 25' area of dry rot at the front of the building in 1989.

Recent issues affecting the property have primarily involved external factors, with multiple reports of parking violations between 2018-2023, including vehicles parking on sidewalks and blocking driveways, though enforcement responses have varied in effectiveness. The building experienced one plumbing incident in 2018 involving a sewer vent issue that was subsequently resolved, and there have been two documented instances of loose garbage requiring street cleaning in 2019 and 2021. A brief encampment situation was reported and resolved in July 2019. While the building's age and history show typical residential maintenance patterns, the record indicates that most interior systems have received appropriate updates, with the major concern being periodic issues with illegal parking in the vicinity and occasional street cleaning needs.

Risk rating

How 2921-2923 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1372 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.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

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 78.6%
Moderate concern 16.8%
Severe concern 4.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
