Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2027 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, owned by Chin Jean Y Living Trust, has undergone significant structural improvements over the past several years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (with a foundation revision in 2019) and brick retaining wall reinforcement. A major electrical upgrade is currently underway, with a permit issued in March 2024 for replacement of the 200-amp main electric system with seven meter sockets. Building maintenance records show regular attention to infrastructure needs, including sidewalk repairs in 2007 and reroofing in 1996.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related incidents since 2001, with the most recent issues occurring in 2024 involving sewage discharge problems in October and some exterior light complaints in January. Historical violations from 2001 included various building, fire safety, and plumbing issues, all of which were abated within 20 days. The property has undergone routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2001, 2008, and 2011, with no active violations on record. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external issues such as street cleaning, tree maintenance, and parking concerns, rather than building-specific problems. While there have been various fire department responses recorded at the address, these appear to be either false alarms, service calls, or invalid cases, with no civilian injuries reported in any incident.

Risk rating

How 2027 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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
