1213-1215 Silver Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

This three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located at 1213-1215 Silver Avenue in San Francisco's Portola neighborhood was constructed in 1917 and is currently owned by the Wong Family Trust. The property underwent significant renovation in 2014-2015, during which a second ground-floor unit was added, including a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and extensive infrastructure upgrades including new furnaces, water heaters, and complete electrical systems with modern amenities.

The construction work, which cost approximately $65,000, included major plumbing and electrical installations such as a 100A service upgrade, multiple new appliances, and comprehensive safety features like smoke detectors. The building's maintenance and safety record shows regular upkeep over the years, including a reroofing project in 2005 and a horizontal addition completed in 1989.

In terms of emergency response, there have been several fire department responses recorded at the address, including three incidents: one building fire (caused unintentionally, with no civilian injuries recorded), an unintentional alarm transmission, and a malfunctioning alarm system incident - all indicating that the building has fire safety systems in place, though the unintentional activations may suggest prior system sensitivity issues. The property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris management in the vicinity, with multiple 311 calls between December 2024 and January 2025 regarding overflowing city garbage cans and general waste concerns, though these appear to be more related to street maintenance than building-specific problems. Two recent open cases from January 2025 involve the Rent Board and water graffiti on a public fire hydrant near the property, though neither directly impacts the building's residential infrastructure.
