Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1737 Oakdale Ave in Silver Terrace, owned by German A. Mendez Acevedo, was constructed in 1915 as a single-story flats and duplex structure. The building underwent roof replacement work in December 2014, with a permit cost of $10,000. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past decade, with the most recent concerns primarily focused on infrastructure and utility systems. Notable incidents include a missing side sewer vent cover in June 2024, similar issues in December 2015, and sewage-related problems in March and April 2018, which involved vent issues and required PUC Sewer Operations intervention.

The building has faced recurring challenges with waste management, as evidenced by multiple reports in 2018 and 2015 regarding garbage toters being left out continuously. The property has also experienced some parking-related incidents, including driveway blocking issues in both 2024 and 2021, though enforcement responses were either resolved or resulted in unable-to-locate situations. Additional historical incidents include a sewage backup situation in March 2018 and an abandoned vehicle complaint in April 2017, both of which were addressed by the respective authorities. While the building has had its share of maintenance and compliance issues, many have been resolved through proper channels, with regular intervention from various city departments including DPW, PUC, and Parking Enforcement.

Risk rating

How 1737 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

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 71 buildings in this neighborhood, 53 are predicted to be safer.
