Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2560-2562 Hyde St in Russian Hill, owned by the Tane Ong Chan Trust 2004, has several significant building safety issues that require attention. The property, constructed in 1908, is currently listed as a "Tier 3 Non-Compliant" soft-story building under San Francisco's Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, with an active violation filed in April 2020 citing failure to complete mandatory seismic retrofit work and associated inspections. Although a permit for mandatory seismic retrofitting was issued in 2017 with an estimated cost of $47,000, the building remains out of compliance with the 2016 SF Building Code requiring earthquake safety improvements. The building also has a history of various structural and safety-related work, including a permit from 2006 for repair of two structural wood posts along the east side, and more recent plumbing work in 2024 for repair and replacement of the house trap.

Recent infrastructure upgrades attempted include electrical improvements in 2018 for a new 400-amp main service with meters, and in 2021 for the relocation of gas lines and meters, though both permits have since expired. The building has undergone several routine housing inspections over the years (2000-2006) and has faced multiple building violations. While there have been no major fire incidents affecting the building itself, multiple false alarms and smoke-related incidents have been recorded nearby. The property is subject to ongoing monitoring requirements and associated fees related to the soft-story program non-compliance, which could impact resident fees or services.

Risk rating

How 2560-2562 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
