Initial analysis

This three-story, 14-unit multi-family residential building located at 1137 Hyde Street in Nob Hill was constructed in 1913 and is currently owned by U021009 Fit Trust. The property has undergone several significant upgrades and faced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding its heating system and window conditions. Recent improvements include the installation of a new low-frequency fire alarm system with 37 horns in sleeping areas (completed June 2024), a 400A electrical service upgrade (September 2023), and additional fire safety enhancements with horns and pull stations (October 2023). The building has experienced recurring boiler permit issues, with multiple violations recorded between 2013 and 2021 for operating without proper permits, though these were eventually resolved. Window-related complaints have emerged as a persistent concern, with recent reports in 2023 and 2024 from Unit 12 regarding poor insulation and safety risks. The building's emergency systems have required regular attention, as evidenced by multiple fire alarm system complaints between 2015 and 2022, though most were marked as "Condition Corrected."

The property has undergone various infrastructure improvements over the years, including boiler replacements (2015, 2019), but has faced intermittent heating issues, particularly noted in 2014-2015. Recent complaints regarding window functionality and insulation indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's location has experienced typical urban issues as documented in 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning and maintenance, which have all been resolved through standard city processes. The property's recent history shows active investment in safety systems and infrastructure, with particular attention to fire safety upgrades in 2023-2024, though some building systems continue to require regular maintenance and prompt attention to resident concerns.

Risk rating

How 1137 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.
