740 Silver Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

740 Silver Avenue is a 1-story multi-family residential building with 3 units, built in 1952 in the Portola neighborhood, currently owned by Jose M & Maria Gonzalez. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with the most substantial recent work occurring between 2017-2018, including bathroom upgrades, bedroom modifications, and window replacements totaling approximately $40,000.

This period also saw the installation of new electrical wiring, lighting, and plumbing improvements including a gas furnace, ductwork, bathroom renovations, and water heater replacement, all properly completed and documented. The property has a history of maintenance issues that have generally been addressed, including multiple fire code violations in 2018 and 2023 regarding extinguishers, emergency lighting, and exits, which were subsequently abated. Three building complaints filed in 2023 regarding an alleged illegal garage dwelling unit and parking issues were documented but not officially abated in the system's records.

Of note is the building's previous history of unauthorized units and modifications in the 1990s, though these issues appear to have been resolved through proper permitting and renovation work. The property's exterior maintenance has been a recurring theme, with numerous 311 calls regarding garbage and debris (most recently in late 2024) indicating ongoing challenges with waste management in the vicinity. The building's documented history shows a pattern of regular maintenance and improvements, with most permits being properly issued and completed, though attention to exterior upkeep and any potential unauthorized unit concerns in the garage area should be noted.
