Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1243-1245 Silver Ave in Portola, owned by Global International Invest, is a two-story structure built in 1964. The property has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, most notably a comprehensive renovation in 2019-2020 that involved bathroom and laundry room additions, guest room creation, and various utility upgrades including new on-demand water heaters, gas line modifications, and electrical work. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, including reroofing projects completed in 2016 and 1993, and a gas meter installation in 2020.

However, there have been some concerning incidents associated with the property. A building complaint was filed in October 2020 regarding unauthorized bedroom and kitchen construction at the ground floor, though this complaint was marked as not active by January 2022. More recently, there have been multiple parking enforcement issues, with ten separate reports of driveway blocking between May and December 2024, though most were unresolved or unable to be verified by responding officers. Additionally, there was a sewer-related incident involving a catch basin discharge in October 2024, which was resolved through field work. The property's renovation history suggests significant modifications to the original layout, particularly focusing on increasing bathroom and laundry facilities, which may be of interest to prospective tenants.

Risk rating

How 1243-1245 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.
