Initial analysis

1735 Hyde Street is a 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1916 in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, currently owned by Hide & Seek Living LLC. The property has undergone significant safety and modernization improvements in recent years, most notably completing its mandatory Tier 3 Soft Story retrofit with a new fire sprinkler system (installed 2020), upgraded fire alarm system (2021), and comprehensive electrical rewiring of all units (2020-2023). The building has received multiple permits for final inspections in 2022-2023, confirming completion of various improvements including plumbing system updates.

The building's history includes several concerning incidents between 2017 and 2019, including violations related to vacant building status, unauthorized entry concerns, and initial non-compliance with the Soft Story Retrofit Program, though these issues appear to have been resolved with recent work completion and certification. Recent work has focused on upgrading individual units, including the installation of new electrical panels and rewiring in units #2 through #6 (2022-2023), and HVAC improvements including furnace replacements and wall heater installations (2020-2023). The property has also faced various 311 calls regarding street maintenance issues in the vicinity, most recently in late 2024, though these are external to the building itself and not directly related to its condition or management.

Risk rating

How 1735 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.
