Initial analysis

The 5-unit multi-family residential building at 3421 Anza Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Lee Andrew K & Jennie M Rev, was constructed in 1950 and is classified as a 2-story apartment building. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing a seismic retrofit of its soft story system in 2017 at a cost of $77,000, which brings it into compliance with modern safety standards. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including reroofing projects in 1992 and 2011, and a street space permit issued in 2019.

The property experienced multiple violations in late 2000 related to fire safety and security systems, including issues with the central alarm system, smoke enclosure doors, and combustible storage. These violations, which raised serious safety concerns, were all addressed and abated by March 2001. A routine housing inspection was conducted in 2011 with no noted ongoing issues. More recently, there have been recurring parking issues in the vicinity of the building, with multiple citations issued between 2022 and 2024 for vehicles blocking driveways. The most recent verified complaint was regarding abandoned vehicles and illegally parked vehicles, indicating some ongoing neighborhood challenges, though these are external to the building itself. The building's fire systems were noted to have an alarm systems issue in 2015, which was corrected by November of that year, and the property has maintained compliance with its soft story retrofit requirements, receiving its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) as a Tier 3 building.

Risk rating

How 3421 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

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.4%
Moderate concern 17.0%
Severe concern 10.7%
