Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1818 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, constructed in 1907, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety updates over its 116-year history. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit (Tier 3) in 2015 at a cost of $134,000, installing "A" frames as per the city ordinance requirements. More recent infrastructure improvements include plumbing upgrades in 2016 involving laundry facilities, trench drains, and electrical work with new lighting and outlets. The building has experienced recurring sewer issues, with the most recent sewage backup incidents reported in 2023 and 2022, and a notable sewer leak complaint in 2019. The property has also received attention to its fire safety systems, including an emergency fire alarm control panel replacement in 2004, though there were multiple fire safety-related violations documented in 2008 that were subsequently abated.

The building's maintenance history reveals both routine upkeep and occasional significant repairs, including window installations in 2003, reroofing work in 1995, and various street space permits between 2016-2019. Historical violations from 2000-2008 were addressed and resolved, covering issues such as stairs repair, fire escape maintenance, alarm system certification, and gas utility requirements. More recent building conditions have shown some recurring maintenance issues, including a 2019 plumbing leak complaint and multiple sewer-related 311 calls between 2022-2023. The property has properly responded to housing inspection services over the years, with all documented violations being addressed and abated. Recent 311 calls (2022-2024) have primarily involved external issues such as street cleaning, graffiti, and abandoned vehicles, which are generally not directly related to building maintenance or safety.

Risk rating

How 1818 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, 748 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 45.4%
Moderate concern 21.4%
Severe concern 33.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
