Initial analysis

Built in 1913, the 13-unit, 3-story property at 1134 Hyde Street in Nob Hill, currently owned by Yee Family Trust, has undergone several significant safety and system upgrades in recent years. The building completed its soft-story retrofit in 2018 at a cost of $111,375, achieving compliance with San Francisco earthquake safety requirements. Between 2023 and 2024, the building underwent comprehensive fire safety system upgrades, including the installation of new fire alarm components, low-frequency sounders, and a nac repeater system. A major heating system update occurred in 2020 with the installation of a new hot water boiler, though this prompted several complaints regarding noise and functionality issues, including one violation for installation without proper permits. The building has a documented history of heating and hot water system challenges, with similar complaints recorded in 2009 and 2016.

The property's maintenance record shows attention to fire safety, with two past incidents of blocked exits being resolved promptly in 2006 and 2014. While recent 311 calls have primarily concerned street-level issues such as garbage and cleaning matters, they are generally routine urban maintenance concerns rather than building-specific problems. The recent completion of major safety upgrades and soft-story retrofit indicates significant investment in the building's structural and life safety systems. However, the history of heating system issues and the violation related to the 2020 boiler installation suggest areas of historical maintenance challenges, though no current violations are on record. The building's fire alarm system has received regular updates to maintain compliance with current safety standards.

Risk rating

How 1134 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.
