Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 3111 Anza Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Nelly Tan, was constructed in 1969 and has undergone several significant maintenance updates over the years. Most notably, in 2023, a comprehensive reroofing project was completed at a cost of $16,200, and in 2021, electrical upgrades were performed including the installation and wiring of new sub panels in units 1, 2, 3, and the garage. The building experienced a cluster of fire safety violations in July 2002, all of which were promptly addressed and abated by September 2002. These violations included issues with fire escape drop ladder maintenance, egress obstructions, and fire extinguisher recharging requirements. A routine housing inspection in 2011 also resulted in no active violations.

More recently, the property has generated several 311 calls from late 2022 through 2024, though these primarily relate to street and sidewalk maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems. The most recent service request was logged in October 2023 regarding garbage and debris, which remains open. The area has seen multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and parking violations near the property between 2022 and 2024, though these are external to the building's condition and management. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep of critical systems, with no active building violations reported in recent years, suggesting appropriate response to required maintenance and safety standards, particularly following the 2002 fire safety issues.

Risk rating

How 3111 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, 675 are predicted to be safer.
