1248 Silver Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

The property at 1248 Silver Avenue in the Portola neighborhood is a 2-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing three residential units and a commercial space, as confirmed by a 2015 administrative permit. The building has undergone various planned improvements over the years, including two separate proposals in 2010 and 2014 to construct a second residential unit with additional parking and bathroom facilities, though both proposals were ultimately withdrawn. A permit from 1992 for reroofing work is now expired.

More recently, in 2022, there were two gas houseline extension permits issued, with one completed successfully. The property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris in the immediate vicinity, particularly between June 2023 and January 2025, with numerous reports of abandoned furniture, loose garbage, and yard waste. Notably, there were three reported incidents involving human waste or urine on the property during late 2024.

The most recent building-related activity involved a parking enforcement response in July 2023. The property has undergone some more significant changes in its history, including a 2021 permit for seismic upgrade work valued at $104,000, and an insurance claim from 2018 for roof damage totaling $15,000. While there have been several proposed improvements to the building over the years, most notably the attempts to add a second residential unit, the completed work has been relatively minimal compared to the scope of these proposals.
