Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 1430 Silver Avenue in Portola, owned by Alzuelo Family Trust, has a documented history of both significant repairs and maintenance issues since its construction in 1912. The most notable incident occurred in 2004-2005, when the building sustained fire damage requiring substantial repairs, including work on roof framing, insulation, and electrical rewiring. This period saw multiple street space permits issued between late 2004 and mid-2005, and the building underwent electrical system upgrades including service change and rewiring of both units. A complaint was filed in August 2004 regarding safety concerns about construction materials potentially endangering neighborhood children, though this was quickly abated.

In recent years, the property has experienced recurring sewer infrastructure issues, with documented problems including a sewage backup discharge in October 2024 and a missing side sewer vent cover in July 2024 (reported twice). The building's exterior and surrounding area have required regular maintenance attention, evidenced by multiple 311 calls for general cleaning and loose garbage between 2020 and 2021, as well as some graffiti removal. The most recent building-related permits on record are primarily for street space usage rather than building modifications or repairs. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly related to sewer systems, while the earlier fire damage period required substantial rehabilitation work that appears to have been properly addressed through multiple permits and inspections.

Risk rating

How 1430 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
71th percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 74 are predicted to be safer.
