487 Silver Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 487 Silver Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Mack Alexander J and constructed in 1924. The building's recent history (2018-2019) is marked by significant maintenance issues, particularly regarding lead paint hazards and building neglect. Multiple violations were filed in December 2018 concerning lead paint concerns, including peeling paint both interior and exterior that required attention to prevent health hazards, with these violations being officially abated by February 2019.

A serious complaint regarding deteriorated electrical equipment suggesting a fire hazard was filed in January 2019, though this complaint was ultimately marked as not active. Earlier, in June 2018, there was a complaint about the property being vacant, with reports of peeling paint, debris, and general exterior neglect, which also required compliance with the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance, though this violation too was abated by February 2019. The building permit records show minimal activity, with only one street space and sidewalk permit issued in 2007.

More recently, from late 2024 to early 2025, there has been a significant number of parking-related incidents near the property, with at least five citations issued for illegal parking, though these are external to the building's condition and maintenance records. Additionally, there was one report of garbage and debris on the street/sidewalk in December 2024 that was subsequently resolved. A carbon monoxide detector activation was recorded at the property at some point, though this incident showed no actual carbon monoxide presence and resulted in no civilian injuries. The building's past violations and complaints, while concerning, were generally addressed within a reasonable timeframe (typically within about three months of reporting), with all known violations being formally abated by February 2019.
