Initial analysis

This three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located at 1435-1439 Hyde Street in Nob Hill was constructed in 1912 and currently owned by SST Investments LLC. The most significant event in the building's history occurred in 2004 when the property was declared unsafe to occupy due to fire damage, marking a period of serious concern for resident safety that persisted until 2012. The building underwent extensive repairs in 2006, including $90,000 worth of fire damage restoration, interior remodeling, and siding replacement, along with electrical system upgrades to all units. Numerous violations were recorded in 2001-2004 related to safety concerns, including issues with gas utility shutoff tools, gas meter instructions, and egress obstructions, though all these violations were eventually abated.

More recent history shows some ongoing concerns for resident comfort and security. In January 2022, there was a report of a security breach involving an unsecured door, and in June 2023, residents reported disturbing early morning construction noise and machinery use. The building had faced significant maintenance and management challenges in the 1990s, with multiple violations for unsafe conditions including reports of pests, unauthorized units, and inadequate maintenance, though these issues appear to have been addressed in subsequent years. The most recent building-related complaint was resolved within one day in June 2023, indicating improved responsiveness to resident concerns. While the building has a documented history of both serious safety issues and maintenance challenges, the most recent records show fewer violations, with all historical building violations having been abated.

Risk rating

How 1435-1439 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
