Initial analysis

1555 Hyde Street is a four-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Louie Share C & May L Revoc. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, including a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 valued at $20,000 to meet current safety standards, and major interior renovations across multiple units between 2022-2024 totaling over $300,000 in improvements. These updates encompassed kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical rewiring, and plumbing upgrades, with the most recent work completed in Unit 5 in late 2024. The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

While the building has undergone substantial improvements, there have been several maintenance and habitability issues documented over the years. A notable cluster of complaints in 2020-2022 involved heating, ventilation, and plumbing concerns, though most violations from these incidents appear to have been addressed. Historical issues from 2000 included lead paint concerns and various interior maintenance needs, all of which were marked as abated by October 2008. The property has two documented tenant buyouts, with the most recent occurring in January 2024 for $85,000. Recent maintenance challenges noted in 2023-2024 include sidewalk issues related to tree roots and graffiti, with current complaints regarding property damage and sidewalk defects still open as of late 2024.

Risk rating

How 1555 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.
