Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1449 Hyde Street in Nob Hill, built in 1912, has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most substantial recent work being a comprehensive bathroom remodeling project in units 2 through 6, currently underway with associated plumbing and electrical permits issued in December 2024. The property has also received important structural upgrades, including a completed seismic retrofit in 2017 (required for soft-story buildings, of which this is classified as Tier 3 with work now complete and CFC issued), and previous significant improvements including conversion of storage space to parking in 2011 and various plumbing updates. A recent tenant complaint from December 2024 noted construction noise starting at 7:30 AM, and there are several maintenance-related 311 calls from 2023-2024 regarding street cleaning and parking issues. Historical violations from 2001 and 2008 were addressed and abated, primarily relating to fire safety equipment and egress obstruction, with no active violations currently on record. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including multiple roofing projects (1991, 1998), and the most recent permit activity suggests ongoing investment in building improvements and modernization.

Risk rating

How 1449 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.
