3735 Anza St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 3735 Anza Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1927 and is currently owned by the John E Wai 1981 Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the years.

Most notably, there are several active housing violations from 2016 related to lead paint hazards, building weatherproofing, fire escape egress, mold, and other interior surface issues, with a director's hearing scheduled for December 12, 2024. Recent complaints include a bathroom leak and possible mold reported in August 2023, and a water intrusion and gas leak complaint from June 2019. The building has received substantial improvements, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2017 costing $60,000, various unit remodels (notably in Unit #3 in 2013), and electrical system upgrades including a 400-amp service installation in 2008.

Multiple plumbing and electrical permits show systematic improvements to the building's infrastructure, including the installation of new heaters, smoke detectors, and kitchen appliances across various units. However, historical issues such as broken windows, lead paint concerns, and more recent mold problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has also experienced some construction-related incidents, including complaints about debris, scaffolding issues, and lead paint concerns during power washing in 2009.
