Silver Terrace, SF 94124 5319045 2 units · 1 fl · 1900

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1907 Oakdale Ave rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1900

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The property at 1907 Oakdale Avenue in Silver Terrace is a 1-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Jiang Guo Hui & Peng Lanqin. The building experienced significant issues in 2009, when it was found to have unauthorized attic conversions with serious life safety concerns, including inadequate egress, lack of smoke detectors, unapproved electrical wiring, inadequate heating, ventilation issues, and code violations related to ceiling height requirements. These violations were documented in detail under Complaint #200998640 filed on March 26, 2009. The property underwent substantial remediation work in 2011, including kitchen renovations on both floors and window replacements, with permits showing over $20,000 in improvements to address code compliance issues. Additional improvements were made in earlier years, including electrical service upgrades in 2005-2004 for converting overhead lines to underground service.

The building also had periods of distress between 2009 and 2012, including a complaint about no heat and electrical issues in March 2009, reports of vacancy in May 2012, and a 2009 complaint regarding plumbing and pest problems. Since 2012, there have been no recorded building code violations or major issues directly affecting habitability, though the property has been subject to various municipal services calls in recent years, primarily related to street and sidewalk conditions, with the most recent complaints from 2024 focused on pavement defects and debris. The property's most recent concern as of 2025 involves pavement defects on the adjacent street, which are currently being addressed by city services.

Risk rating

How 1907 Oakdale Ave'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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
78thpercentile

Out of 71 buildings in this neighborhood, 16 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
