Initial analysis

The property at 2 Vesta Street in Silver Terrace is a one-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1939, currently owned by Chune Eugene & Ng Hoi Kam. The building underwent significant modifications following a July 2015 violation notice that identified unauthorized conversion of the garage area into a separate unit, which included multiple safety and code compliance issues such as improper fire-resistant materials, inadequate heating, and unapproved electrical and plumbing work. To address these violations, the owners completed a series of substantial improvements between 2015-2016 totaling approximately $102,000, including the installation of proper fire-rated materials, electrical systems, plumbing fixtures, and a one-hour fire-resistant heat source, as well as bathroom reconfigurations and shower replacements, all of which received proper permits and were completed by May 2017.

In more recent history, the building has experienced a series of parking-related incidents, with multiple enforcement calls between January 7-13, 2025, though most cases were either unable to be validated or resulted in citations for sidewalk parking violations. A fire complaint was filed in June 2023 but was determined to have no merit by August 2023. The building's permit and violation history suggests that major structural and safety issues were adequately addressed in 2015-2016, bringing the property into compliance with current safety standards at that time, though ongoing parking issues have persisted in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 2 Vesta 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
90th percentile

Out of 71 buildings in this neighborhood, 7 are predicted to be safer.
