AI summary

The 11-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 955 Hyde Street, owned by the Murphy/Moore Family Trust, was constructed in 1922 and has undergone various maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, the building has seen substantial interior upgrades in 2023, with bathroom and kitchen remodels in Units 2, 6, and 10, along with window replacements totaling over $150,000. A significant plumbing upgrade occurred in March 2022 with the installation of a new 100-gallon water heater and boiler system. The property has experienced several maintenance challenges over its history, including recent general maintenance violations filed in August 2024 related to paint, weather proofing, and fire escape maintenance, though these were abated relatively quickly by August 29, 2024. The building has a documented history of infrastructure improvements, including foundation work, window installations, and dry rot repairs completed in the 1990s and earlier. Fire safety systems have required attention, with violations noted in 2006 and 2017 related to smoke detectors and alarm systems, though these were subsequently abated. While the building has experienced various issues over the years including past pest infestations (2009), heating problems (2000), and a water-related issue (2001), many of these have been addressed through subsequent repairs or system upgrades. The surrounding area has faced typical urban challenges as evidenced by recent 311 calls (2024) regarding sidewalk conditions and street cleaning matters, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 955 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
71th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 130 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Moderate concern 66.8%
Severe concern 18.2%
