Initial analysis

The 6-story, 13-unit apartment building at 725 Hyde Street, owned by the Lee Family Trust, has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements and faced recurring maintenance challenges since its construction in 1925. Most notably, in 2024, the building is actively upgrading its fire safety systems, including replacing the fire alarm system and installing new safety devices throughout the building, with work currently in progress. The property has experienced heating system issues in recent years, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat recorded in 2023, following similar problems in 2021 and a hot water outage in 2016. The building's historical maintenance record shows attention to basic infrastructure needs, including a 2020 water heater replacement, roof work in 1990, and window installations in 1984.

The building has faced several regulatory challenges over the years, particularly concerning boiler permits, with violations recorded in 2013 and 2010, though these issues were ultimately resolved by 2014. Fire safety has been an ongoing focus, with violations for standpipe and sprinkler system maintenance in 2016 and 2018, both of which were corrected. Recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate some exterior maintenance needs, including a pavement defect and noise concerns, while the fire department has responded to multiple minor incidents at the building, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The property's maintenance history suggests an active approach to addressing safety and infrastructure requirements, as evidenced by recent fire system upgrades and past violations being resolved through appropriate corrective actions.

Risk rating

How 725 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
47th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 237 are predicted to be safer.
