This building has 4 novs (7y), at or below the Downtown average of 6.9.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 745 Hyde St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1923
2 or more units
23 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Built 1923
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

745 Hyde Street is a 23-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Russell B & Lee M Flynn. The building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, particularly between 2013-2017, with nearly all units receiving substantial interior upgrades including kitchen relocations, bathroom remodels, and electrical improvements. Most recently, in January 2024, a permit was filed for fire alarm system replacement and new horns to meet updated fire codes. The building has experienced several fire safety issues, with violations in 2024 regarding sleeping area requirements, a 2023 sprinkler/standpipe system issue, and multiple violations in 2020, 2017, and 2016 related to various fire safety systems, though most were corrected promptly.

Recent concerns filed through 311 calls include complaints about garbage and debris, human waste, and sidewalk cleaning issues near the property throughout 2024. The building has also faced some operational challenges, with a broken stove reported in February 2024 and a potentially unsafe window washing platform reported in December 2023, though both issues have since been addressed. Historical issues included complaints in 2003 regarding emergency exits, smoke detectors, fire escape ladders, and combustible storage in the basement, which were all resolved by April 2003. The property underwent significant unit modernization between 2013 and 2017, including plumbing upgrades, electrical system improvements, and various interior remodeling projects, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts by the ownership.

Risk rating

How 745 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
25thpercentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 336 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
