Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1916-1920 Hyde Street, owned by the Peggy Lee Trust, was constructed in 1923 and contains four units plus a retail space. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a 2022 ADA compliance upgrade with a concrete walkway and handicap door opener installation ($8,375), a 2021 roof replacement ($12,000), and notable plumbing work in 2016 involving house trap and sewer line replacement. The building had multiple violations in December 2009 that were all abated by February 2010, including issues with hot water heater seismic bracing, exterior door security, and smoke detector installation. More recently, in April 2022, there was a fire safety violation related to combustible materials and LP gas permits, though this appears to have been resolved by May 2022. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, particularly regarding driveway blockages, with several citations issued between 2023-2024, though these are not directly related to the building's conditions.

The commercial portion of the building has operated as a restaurant, with both Planning and ABC approvals for a Type 41 license to continue its operation as Ben Thai Cafe. Historical maintenance work has included multiple roof replacements (2008 and 2021), stucco and siding repairs (1996), and the installation of an awning (1997). The building has received regular inspections and permits for various improvements, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by the current ownership. While the building has experienced several violations over the years, records indicate timely responses and corrections, with no currently active violations as of the latest available data. The property's recent major improvements suggest attention to both accessibility and structural maintenance, though prospective tenants should note the building's age and associated systems.

Risk rating

How 4 Delgado Pl'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.
