Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1861 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Levinson Family Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1910. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016-2017 with a steel moment frame installation (cost: $46,000), and has recently upgraded its fire alarm system to comply with SF Fire Code requirements (completed February 2024, cost: $40,309). The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, with back stair repairs completed in 2001 and reroofing work done in 1998, indicating regular upkeep of essential building systems.

The building experienced multiple safety and maintenance issues between 2000-2002, including problems with stairs, fire safety equipment, security features, and heating systems, though all these violations were abated by June 2001. More recent history shows no similar pattern of violations, and the most recent fire alarm system complaint from September 2024 was found to have "no merit." The property has also addressed various external maintenance issues reported through 311 calls, including street cleaning and tree maintenance matters. Current records show no active building violations or complaints related to the building's systems or safety features, suggesting improved maintenance practices in recent years. The building has received the necessary Certificates of Final Completion (CFC) for its seismic retrofit work, placing it in Tier 4 status according to San Francisco's soft-story program requirements.

Risk rating

How 1861 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

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 521 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.

Number of units

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 46.0%
Moderate concern 20.4%
Severe concern 33.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
