AI summary

The property at 2642-2644 Hyde Street in Russian Hill is a two-unit, two-story residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by 2642-44 Hyde St LLC. The building has a documented history of structural modifications and violations primarily related to rear stair and balcony maintenance. Most recently, in 2023-2024, there were multiple permit applications and violations regarding repairs to back stairs and balcony infrastructure, including a significant complaint filed in December 2023 about unauthorized work involving post supports, stair modifications, and window trim replacements. The building underwent stair repair work in 2024 to comply with this violation, with associated permits issued and completed totaling approximately $7,000 in repairs.

Historically, the property has faced several enforcement actions and violations. In 2004, there was an unpermitted construction issue regarding a metal deck/balcony at the rear, which eventually led to a legalization process completed in 2004. Previous years showed multiple compliance issues, including unauthorized electrical and plumbing modifications in 2004, unpermitted rear porch construction in 2008, and various construction without permits in 2000. The building's maintenance record shows attention to structural elements, particularly in recent years, with balcony repairs currently permitted for $1,500. Additionally, the property has experienced some external infrastructure issues, with recent 311 calls in 2023 indicating sidewalk problems and tree root concerns, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2642-2644 Hyde 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 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 91 are predicted to be safer.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio
