Initial analysis

The four-unit apartment building at 2917 Anza Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story structure built in 1915 and currently owned by the Steven H & Carmen L Woo Rev Trust. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant events, particularly relating to repairs and safety compliance. In the early 1990s, the property underwent repairs for termite damage and legalized earthquake repair work from the 1989 earthquake. A notable cluster of violations was recorded in June 2002, primarily focused on fire safety and security issues, including the need for smoke detectors, self-closing exterior doors, fire extinguisher maintenance, and combustible storage concerns; however, all these violations were abated by August 2002. The building has undergone three major compliance-related permits: in 1983 to bring the building into full compliance, in 1990 for termite damage repair, and in 1993 for earthquake-related repairs.

More recent records show limited issues affecting the building directly, though there have been several parking-related complaints in the vicinity, most recently in August 2023, and a sewer-related incident in 2018 involving a vent issue that was subsequently cancelled as a duplicate service request. The most concerning historical event was a cluster of safety violations in 2002, though these were promptly addressed within approximately two months. Since that time, there have been no recorded building code violations or major repair issues, suggesting improved maintenance practices. The building's age, combined with its history of addressing various structural and safety concerns, reflects typical challenges faced by early-20th-century multi-family residential buildings in San Francisco.

Risk rating

How 2917 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, 1575 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.

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 66.7%
Moderate concern 21.3%
Severe concern 12.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
