1208 Silver Ave, San Francisco, CA 94134

The Zeng Family Trust's two-unit residential building at 1208 Silver Avenue in the Portola neighborhood is a two-story structure built in 2010, following the demolition of a one-story auto repair building earlier that same year. The construction project, valued at $550,000, was completed in 2008, with subsequent modifications including the installation of a spiral staircase and relocation of a garage door in March 2010. The building's construction was initially marred by violations in December 2007 regarding unauthorized work, including wall removals and electrical modifications, though these were abated by March 2008.

Additional improvements include the installation of new windows (2007), plumbing systems for both units (2009), and electrical upgrades including a new 200-amp service (2007). Recent maintenance records indicate ongoing sewer-related issues, with two sewer vent incidents reported in June 2022 and most recently in November 2024, suggesting potential infrastructure challenges. The property has experienced periodic enforcement issues, including multiple instances of driveway blocking (most recently in April 2022) and one incident of sidewalk parking (February 2024).

There have been several maintenance and service calls related to basic infrastructure, including graffiti removal (January 2024), and a missing side sewer vent cover (September 2020). While these issues suggest some challenges with property maintenance and infrastructure, it's worth noting that most complaints have been resolved promptly through appropriate channels. The building's systems were initially installed with standard residential features, including two bathrooms, two toilets, three sinks, and laundry facilities per unit, though subsequent modifications and repairs have occurred as evidenced by various permits and work orders.
