Initial analysis

830 Hyde Street is a 9-unit, 5-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1916, currently owned by Lai King Quan Properties LLC. The building experienced significant fire damage in 2010, which prompted extensive renovations including complete repiping of all units and the installation of a new fire alarm system in 2014-2015. Recent inspections in October 2024 revealed violations related to sprinkler/standpipe systems and alarm systems, though conditions were corrected quickly. The building has a history of fire safety issues, with eight fire system violations documented between 2006 and 2024, including past problems with exit doors, fire alarms, extinguishers, and exit corridor blockages.

Major recent improvements include underpinning work completed in 2019, and the building has undergone multiple permit revisions and final inspections since 2016. Several complaints regarding construction noise after hours were filed between 2015-2019, and the building experienced various maintenance issues in 2003 including plumbing problems and bathroom fixture failures. The property had one tenant buyout recorded in 2017 for $60,000 involving two tenants. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2019 primarily related to street cleaning and maintenance issues outside the building, rather than internal building problems. The building's plumbing and electrical systems have undergone significant updates since the 2010 fire, with completed permits showing comprehensive system replacements and improvements.

Risk rating

How 830 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
37th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 282 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.

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 14.4%
Moderate concern 54.3%
Severe concern 31.3%
