Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4939 Anza Street in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a 2-story structure built in 1929, currently owned by Lew Fmly Tr A. The building underwent significant reconstruction in 1990 when a single-family dwelling was demolished and a new two-unit residential building was erected, with some structural plan revisions occurring in 1992. More recently, the property received a complete reroofing in 2022, representing the most recent major maintenance work at a cost of $10,000.

The property has experienced numerous parking-related issues over the past several years, with four documented cases of driveway blockage in September and October 2024 alone, all resulting in citations. Earlier incidents include a sidewalk parking case in July 2021 and another driveway blocking incident in November 2018, both leading to citations. Other service requests have included a general cleaning issue in February 2020, an environmental health service request in January 2020, and a tree maintenance request in May 2016 which was addressed through pruning to alleviate sidewalk clearance concerns. A pavement defect was also reported and resolved in November 2013, representing the only documented street defect near the property.

Risk rating

How 4939 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 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 281 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 77.8%
Moderate concern 14.3%
Severe concern 7.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
