Initial analysis

The three-story, eight-unit multi-family residential building at 1018-1026 Hyde Street, constructed in 1911, has undergone several significant safety and compliance upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in 2024, the building received a comprehensive upgrade to its fire alarm system, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current code requirements, with work completed in October 2024 at a cost of $20,300. The building is classified as a Tier 3 soft-story retrofit property, and completed its seismic improvements in 2015, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco building safety requirements. The property has also completed awning amnesty work in 2024, resolving previous permit violations related to unpermitted awnings.

The building's history includes routine inspections in 2000 and 2007 that identified various safety concerns, including issues with fire escape equipment and a malfunctioning central panel, all of which were resolved by 2008. A past incident of illegal short-term rentals from Unit 3 (Airbnb-related) was investigated and resolved. Recent 311 calls near the property have primarily concerned street-level issues such as waste cleanup, with no documented building-specific complaints or violations in recent years. The most recent building-related issues appear to have been addressed promptly, with no active building violations on record. The property's management has demonstrated ongoing compliance with safety requirements through regular maintenance and system upgrades, particularly focusing on fire safety improvements.

Risk rating

How 1018-1026 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.
