1325 Hyde St

Nob Hill, SF 94109 0217002 6 units · 3 fl · 1909

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1325 Hyde St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1909
2 or more units
6 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RM3
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1909
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1325 Hyde Street in Nob Hill, owned by Wong Fay Revocable 1993 Trust, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades over recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 (Tier 3) with a cost of $45,000, followed by the recent installation of an upgraded fire alarm system in 2024 costing $28,400 to meet current fire code requirements. The building has a history of heating system issues, with complaints about inadequate heat in 2001 and 2008, though major heating system improvements have been made since then, including a 2014 steam boiler replacement and a 2005 furnace installation for heating multiple units.

The property experienced multiple building code violations in 2009 relating to fire safety equipment, including fire alarm system certification, fire extinguisher maintenance, and hot water heater seismic bracing, though these violations were all abated by July 2009. Earlier complaints from 2001 and 2002 cited problems with heating and hallway lighting, while a 1995 complaint about possible illegal units was closed in 1997. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned external maintenance issues such as graffiti and tree pruning, as well as several cases of furniture debris on the sidewalk. Fire incident records show multiple alarm activations, mostly false alarms or system tests, with no recorded civilian injuries. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure upgrades and code compliance, particularly regarding seismic retrofitting and fire safety systems.

Risk rating

How 1325 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
44thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 630 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

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.
