Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1800 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, owned by Jonathan Louie, was constructed in 1913 and has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime. Most recently, in early 2023, the building received substantial fire safety upgrades with the installation of additional fire alarm system components, including low-frequency sounders, wall-mounted horns, and a wireless communicator, at a cost of $23,459. The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program, achieving compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. In 2018, the property underwent various improvements including plumbing upgrades (installation of sinks and toilets), electrical work (installation of lighting, switches, and kitchen equipment), and multiple street space permits - indicating active maintenance and infrastructure upgrades.

Historical records show some fire safety compliance issues in 2004, including violations related to the central alarm system and fire extinguishers, though these were abated by September 2004. The building currently has an active complaint from February 2023 regarding a vacant store in the main building, which is being handled by the Code Enforcement Section. Recent patterns near the property include several reports of garbage and debris in the vicinity during late 2024, with varying resolution statuses. The property also received approval for a new ABC Type 41 license for the Soapbox Café, indicating active commercial use on the premises. While there have been multiple street cleaning and maintenance complaints in the surrounding area, significant building-level issues appear to be addressed promptly through regular maintenance and upgrades.

Risk rating

How 1800 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.
