Initial analysis

The 22-unit, 4-story apartment building at 1005 Hyde Street, owned by Harry & Jennie J Chin since 2010, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades since its construction in 1915. Most recently, in July 2023, the building received extensive fire safety improvements with the installation of a remote central station fire alarm system, including smoke and heat detectors, pull stations, and horn/strobe devices, at a cost of $63,467. The building's safety systems have been a focus of attention, with a new steam boiler installed in 2021 and previous fire-related repairs in unit 3 documented in 1997. Historical records show the building experienced fire escape maintenance issues in 2003-2014, when violations related to ladders and handrails were identified and subsequently abated.

The property has a history of infrastructure improvements, including seismic retrofitting in 2001 (although the permit expired), reroofing projects in 1996 and 1998, and a horizontal addition completed in 1992. Recent maintenance challenges have included an open violation from January 2024 regarding sleeping area requirements. The building's location has experienced recurring issues with street maintenance and parking enforcement, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls for garbage, debris, and blocked driveways throughout 2024. While the property has had various fire safety concerns documented between 2007 and 2024, the majority have been resolved or shown as conditions corrected, with the most recent being a 2024 fire alarm system-related violation. Regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services have been conducted, with the most recent being in 2009, though some violations required multiple notices before resolution.

Risk rating

How 1005 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
59th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 184 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 9.0%
Moderate concern 63.9%
Severe concern 27.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
