Initial analysis

1730 Hyde Street is a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently owned by L&a Wong Fam Prop Asscn Llc. The building has experienced several significant issues, most notably its non-compliance with the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, for which it has received active violation notices since September 2019. The property has a documented history of safety and maintenance concerns, including multiple fire safety violations related to alarm systems and extinguishers between 2014 and 2022, with the most recent violation in 2020 specifically noting issues with the alarm system and exits/fire escapes. There were also serious structural concerns in 1995 when the building was reported to be leaning and experiencing water damage, though these issues were addressed by early 1996.

Recent maintenance work on the property includes a $60,000 soft story retrofit permit reinstated in 2017 and various garage-related improvements in 2003-2004. The building has faced scrutiny for short-term rental violations, with complaints filed in 2018 regarding unauthorized rentals in multiple units, though these issues were subsequently closed as abated. Regular fire safety inspections have occurred, with most violations being promptly corrected, though the building's current non-compliant status in the Soft Story program raises ongoing safety concerns. The property has also undergone various routine inspections and minor repairs over the years, including plumbing work completed in 2014.

Risk rating

How 1730 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.
