Initial analysis

The two-unit, single-story multi-family residential building at 1084 Silver Avenue in the Portola neighborhood, owned by Ana E Lopez, was constructed in 1933 and has experienced several significant infrastructure issues in recent years. Most notably, the property has encountered multiple sewage system problems, with four documented sewage backup incidents between July and October 2024, including discharges from catch basins and side sewer vents that resulted in a health hazard declaration by SFPUC on October 29, 2024. This violation was promptly addressed with the installation of a new house trap and associated plumbing work completed by mid-November 2024. The building's plumbing systems have undergone recent improvements, including the installation of a new heat pump water heater in April 2024, which required both plumbing and electrical work.

In addition to the plumbing issues, there are several ongoing concerns regarding the property's exterior and surroundings, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in early 2025. These include reports of a collapsed sidewalk, issues with waste receptacle maintenance, and various street cleaning needs. A notable infrastructure concern was documented in January 2025 regarding a sidewalk defect, though this was marked as requiring work completion at a later date. While the building's most critical plumbing issues appear to have been addressed, the recurring nature of sewage problems throughout 2024 suggests past challenges with the property's wastewater infrastructure. The building's maintenance record shows both reactive responses to urgent issues and proactive upgrades to systems like water heating, indicating variable attention to infrastructure needs.

Risk rating

How 1084 Silver Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
92th percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 20 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.7%
Moderate concern 15.3%
Severe concern 6.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
