Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1315 Silliman St in Portola, owned by William Reynolds, was constructed in 1974 and has undergone several significant modifications over the past decades. The most notable recent improvement was the successful legalization of a second unit at the ground floor in 2015, which included the installation of a kitchen, furnace, and electrical upgrades for proper kitchen facilities, though this project had been initiated earlier in 2008 with various construction and system installations including a family room, bedroom, bathroom, and storage room. Prior renovations include exterior improvements such as vinyl siding installation in 2014, and interior updates from the 1980s and 1990s involving bathroom and kitchen renovations, social room enlargement, and basement modifications.

The property has experienced some recent maintenance issues, particularly in late 2024, with multiple incidents involving sewage discharge from the side sewer vent during December, though these were resolved without persistent problems. There has been ongoing concern regarding garbage and debris management in the vicinity, with several reports of abandoned furniture and loose garbage between September and December 2024. Other recent concerns include an overgrown tree report from January 2025, though this is in the earliest stages of reporting. The building's most significant recent development was the formal legalization of the second unit and associated deck modifications, which was processed under legal ordinance 43-14, demonstrating compliance with municipal regulations despite the property's history of unauthorized unit modifications prior to 2015.

Risk rating

How 1315 Silliman St'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

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 23 are predicted to be safer.
