1036 Silver Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

The 3-unit, single-story multi-family residential building at 1036 Silver Avenue in Portola, constructed in 1948 and currently owned by the De Xi Yang Trust, has a concerning record of unresolved violations dating back to March 2011. These active violations, all stemming from a routine housing inspection, include multiple fire safety deficiencies such as the need for fire extinguishers, removal of combustible storage or installation of sprinklers, and installation of directional signs.

The building also requires various inspections by licensed professionals for building attachments, and there are multiple instances of unpermitted building work identified. The property has undergone some improvements in the past, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel with window replacements in 1998 and reroofing work completed in 1992 and 1997.

Recent maintenance issues have emerged in 2024, including a sewage backup problem from a side sewer vent and other municipal service calls regarding water service, graffiti, and general cleaning matters. A damaged tree situation was noted in February 2022, with the city acknowledging it as an empty basin that required resources for replanting. The building's violation record, with multiple active citations related to both building safety and fire safety issues, represents the most significant ongoing concern for this property, as these violations have remained unresolved for over 12 years.
