Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 37-39 Salmon Street in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, owned by Markus Todd Leong, was constructed in 1987 after the previous structure was demolished in late 1986. The property, which contains two units and is classified as Flats & Duplex, has maintained a relatively stable profile over the years. The original construction process included the submission of as-built floor plans in December 1987, following a series of planning variances that were ultimately disapproved or withdrawn. These variances sought to construct a larger 3-family dwelling that would exceed the standard height limits for the RM-2 district, with proposals for 3 stories over garage as viewed from Himmelman Place or 5 stories over garage as viewed from Salmon Street.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved routine street maintenance issues, with four reported cases of loose garbage on the street between 2018 and 2024, all of which were resolved by the Department of Public Works. In September 2022, there was an incident involving a U-Haul blocking a driveway, but the responding officer was unable to locate the vehicle. While the building's permit and complaint history shows regular street maintenance concerns, there are no recorded safety violations, major repairs, or significant resident complaints against the property in recent years, suggesting stable building conditions since its construction.

Risk rating

How 37-39 Salmon 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 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 101 are predicted to be safer.
