Initial analysis

The property at 37-39 Cook Street is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by the Leung Residence Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work in recent years, including a completed reroofing project in April 2024 costing $13,000, gas line installations in 2022, a sewer lateral replacement in 2021, and a water heater replacement with laundry installation in 2021. The property has a history of addressing infrastructure and safety concerns, with the most recent major repair being the installation of new gas lines in 2022.

Historical records show several compliance issues that have been resolved over time. In 2002, the building faced multiple interior violations including mold issues, damaged walls and ceilings, and lead paint concerns, all of which were abated by June 2002. Earlier compliance efforts were documented in the late 1980s, including canceled permits for building code compliance in 1988 and 1989. More recent maintenance issues have been relatively minor, with no active violations on record since 2002. The building's exterior maintenance has been addressed periodically, including sidewalk repairs in 2003 and rear stair repairs in 2008. The property has experienced some recent neighborhood maintenance issues recorded through 311 calls, primarily related to parking violations and general street cleaning, though these are external to the building itself. All subsequent repairs and improvements suggest ongoing maintenance and upkeep by the current ownership, with no recent health or safety violations reported.

Risk rating

How 37-39 Cook 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
