717 Silver Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

The two-unit residential building at 717 Silver Avenue in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Dino & Wendy Sandoval, has been standing since 1982. The property has undergone several significant changes and faced various challenges over the years. In 2004, a reroofing project was completed at a cost of $4,800, and in 1998, modifications were made including deck removal and basement modifications.

A concerning building complaint from October 2019 reported peeling lead paint and dilapidated walls on the first floor, though this issue is currently listed as not active. More recently, in early 2025, the property has experienced multiple infrastructure issues, including two sewage back-up incidents (one from a catch basin and another from a side sewer vent), and there have been several complaints about garbage and debris on the property. The building has a history of fire-related incidents, including detector activations and a gas leak, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries. January 2025 has been particularly active for this property, with ongoing noise complaints and multiple sanitation issues being reported and addressed.

The building's repair history includes some positive maintenance efforts, such as the 2004 roofing work, but the recent sewage problems and the earlier lead paint complaint from 2019 suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges. The property is classified as a multi-family residential building (Flats & Duplex) and is located within a 2-story structure. While the building has experienced various safety and maintenance issues over the years, many of these problems have been addressed through appropriate channels, though some recent complaints remain open. The timeline of the property's issues suggests periods of both proactive maintenance and reactive responses to emerging problems.
