Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 1500-1508 Hyde Street, built in 1907 and classified as a Flat & Store with 3 stories, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance issues over the years. Most notably, in 2018, the building completed a $56,000 soft-story strengthening project on its first floor, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The building has undergone substantial plumbing and electrical upgrades, including a major overhaul in 2011-2012 that involved work on four kitchens, four laundry rooms, twelve bathrooms, multiple water heaters, and three furnaces, along with extensive electrical installations including new circuits, lighting, and appliance connections.

Recent concerns include a June 2022 complaint about multiple appliance failures and unit damage, and a November 2020 complaint about a potentially dangerous handicap-operated front door at the cafe. The building experienced several violations in 2016 related to fire safety requirements, which were subsequently addressed. Historical issues include a 2012 incident involving unauthorized construction work on rear stairs, a 2014 complaint about locked fire exits, and a 2000 violation regarding weatherproofing and handrail repairs. The property has also maintained its commercial space operations, currently authorized as a restaurant with ABC Type 41 license, though there have been periods of non-compliance that required correction, such as the 2012 unauthorized kitchen relocation in Unit #5.

Risk rating

How 1500-1508 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
