Initial analysis

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1610-1612 Hyde Street in Nob Hill, built in 1910, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety events throughout its history. The most pressing safety concerns emerged during a series of housing inspections in 2000 and 2008 that identified various fire safety issues, including combustible storage, problems with smoke enclosure doors, fire extinguisher maintenance, and sprinkler system requirements. These violations were eventually abated between August and September of 2008. The building has seen regular maintenance work, including a reroofing project completed in 1990 and the installation of seventy-one aluminum windows in 1984. More recently, there was a roof access complaint logged in December 2024.

The property has experienced minimal fire-related incidents, with records showing only false alarms and good intent calls in the vicinity, and no civilian injuries have been reported. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the building's surroundings, including illegal parking, tree damage, and sidewalk cleaning issues between 2019 and 2022, these primarily concerned the public space rather than the building itself. Two routine housing inspections in 2000 and 2008 prompted several safety violations, but all were resolved, demonstrating responsiveness to regulatory requirements. The most recent building permit activity and safety history indicates improved maintenance compliance, with no active violations or recent complaints affecting residential safety or habitability.

Risk rating

How 1610-1612 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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 26.0%
Moderate concern 38.2%
Severe concern 35.9%
