Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2037 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, built in 1916, has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2015 as a Tier 3 building. This retrofit, which included the installation of moment frames and rear shear walls, was a substantial project with a documented cost of $90,000 and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC). The building has a history of addressing safety and code compliance issues, including the installation of fire sprinklers in 1987 and a reroofing project in 2007 costing $13,500.

Recent concerns have emerged as of 2024, with a complaint filed in January regarding an improperly installed flood light in the rear yard that allegedly operates continuously, causing disruption to multiple neighbors. This recent complaint has drawn attention to potential concerns about unauthorized rental activities, though these claims require further verification. The building's history includes several routine inspections and corrections of violations in the early 2000s, primarily related to unauthorized construction work, plumbing, electrical issues, and ceiling repairs, all of which were subsequently abated. The proper unit count has been a point of clarification, with records indicating a possible discrepancy between 6 and 7 units, though this appears to have been resolved through permit revisions in 2015. The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to both building systems and safety improvements, with no active violations or complaints as of the most recent records.

Risk rating

How 2037 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
34th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 748 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 27.9%
Moderate concern 58.9%
Severe concern 13.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
