Initial analysis

The 1040-1050 Hyde Street property is a three-story mixed-use building constructed in 1911, containing seven residential units plus ground-floor commercial space, currently owned by David S & Jayne Yee. The building has undergone numerous significant renovations and changes of use over the years, with the most recent major commercial transformation occurring in 2014 when the ground-floor space transitioned from retail to a drinking establishment, including extensive interior work valued at $18,000. The property has seen substantial residential improvements, particularly in 2011, when significant renovations were made to both the first and second-floor units, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, with a reported cost of $75,000. Additional improvements between 2013-2014 included electrical upgrades, plumbing modifications, and the addition of a new unit.

The building's history includes several concerning incidents related to maintenance and resident behavior. There were complaints in 2017 and 2018 regarding unauthorized short-term rental activities at 1048 Hyde Street, including issues with garbage collection and an allegedly converted rooftop "dog run," though these violations were eventually abated. Two building complaints from 2011 investigated unauthorized work and safety concerns, and a foundation work complaint was filed in 2013. More recently, there has been an ongoing pattern of sidewalk cleaning and debris issues reported through 311 calls, with multiple general cleaning and garbage-related complaints recorded between 2022-2024. The most recent building permit activity was filed in 2017 for health department purposes, proposing to convert a wax room into a permanent makeup area, though this permit status remains filed as of the last available data.

Risk rating

How 1040-1050 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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 29.6%
Moderate concern 34.2%
Severe concern 36.3%
