Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1287 Silver Avenue in Portola, owned by He Yi Fan, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1956. The building's maintenance record shows a completed reroofing project from 1996. More recently, the property has experienced a significant number of parking-related issues, particularly during 2023-2024, with multiple incidents of vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks. From May 2023 through October 2024, there were at least ten documented parking enforcement calls, with five of these resulting in citations being issued. The most recent incident, recorded in December 2024, involves excessive noise and is still open as of this reporting date, though it carries less direct impact on the building's structural or safety profile compared to the parking enforcement issues. The frequency and pattern of parking violations suggest ongoing challenges in the immediate vicinity, though these primarily affect access and convenience rather than building safety or condition.

Risk rating

How 1287 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.

Neighborhood percentile
94th percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 15 are predicted to be safer.
