Initial analysis

The four-story multi-family residential building at 140-142 Hermann Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Carol A Salvagione & Mark J, dates back to 1896 and was originally designed as a flats & duplex structure. The property has undergone significant improvements and safety upgrades between 2014-2015, including the installation of a comprehensive fire prevention system with sprinklers, new fire alarm panels, and smoke detectors ($2,500), along with extensive electrical work comprising rewiring of all units, installation of new lighting systems, and a 400-amp service upgrade. The building's infrastructure was substantially modernized with plumbing renovations including new sewer, drain, vent, and water lines, and the installation of three central heating systems and gas appliances. Additional environmental improvements were made with the installation of a solar PV system in December 2014.

The building has had several planning records of note, including approvals for rear yard deck extensions and garage variances, as well as a condo conversion application for four units. Historical complaints from the late 1990s and early 2000s, including issues with roof leaks and occupancy concerns, have been resolved and there have been no recent housing inspection violations. Routine maintenance and street cleaning issues have been documented through 311 calls, including reports of garbage, debris, and parking violations, though these appear to be typical urban concerns rather than building-specific problems. Recent maintenance includes attention to a damaged tree in 2015 and various street space permits issued between 2014-2015, suggesting regular engagement with urban infrastructure requirements.

Risk rating

How 140-142 Hermann 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.
