Initial analysis

The four-story multi-family residential building at 1954-1964 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, built in 1911, contains 13 units and is currently owned by the Blaine 1977 Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant safety system upgrades in recent years, including a complete fire alarm system replacement in 2022 ($45,000) and the installation of low-frequency horns throughout the building. The building has maintained its electrical and mechanical systems, with recent work including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units, window replacements, and heating system upgrades. Notably, there was a period of non-compliance with mandatory soft-story retrofit requirements in 2018, though this was eventually resolved, along with several boiler permit issues that were abated by January 2019. Recent inspections have shown generally good maintenance of fire safety systems, with only one fire complaint in 2024 regarding sprinkler systems that was found to have no merit.

The building's maintenance history shows regular updating of individual units and common systems, including sewer line repairs and various unit improvements. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as sidewalk conditions, parking enforcement, and tree maintenance, with some mechanical equipment noise concerns still under review. The most recent building complaint from August 2024 related to general maintenance and smoke/co detector compliance was quickly addressed. Planning records indicate previous considerations for antenna installations and amplified sound systems, though the antenna application was withdrawn. The property has had several routine violations and complaints over the years, particularly related to boiler permits and soft-story requirements, but all these issues have been resolved through appropriate channels. Most recently, in 2024, the property has demonstrated continued compliance with safety regulations, despite some ongoing maintenance concerns related to mechanical systems and exterior features.

Risk rating

How 1954-1964 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.
