Initial analysis

The property at 1675-1677 Silver Ave, a two-unit residential building constructed in 1908, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years, most notably concerning its fire safety systems. Between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple fire safety violations related to alarm systems, extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and sleeping area requirements, with several violations being issued permits - though most were subsequently corrected. More recent issues from late 2024 to early 2025 indicate ongoing challenges with property maintenance, including multiple reports of garbage and debris on and around the property, as well as graffiti on nearby sidewalks and street furniture. There are current open issues from January 2025 regarding an overgrown tree affecting the sidewalk. The building has a documented history of fire safety non-compliance dating back to 2016, when violations related to exit maintenance, alarm systems, and extinguishers were recorded. While most of these historical violations were eventually abated, their frequency and nature suggest a recurring pattern of maintenance challenges. The property also requires attention to basic maintenance issues as evidenced by the multiple garbage-related service calls in January 2025, though many of these were resolved without needing further work.

Risk rating

How 1675-1677 Silver 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.
