The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1084 Silver Ave rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built 1933

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

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

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

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

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

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

Neighborhood percentile
92ndpercentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 20 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.
