Initial analysis

The 5-story, 25-unit multi-family residential building at 425 Hyde Street, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Plaza Group LLC, has undergone numerous renovations and faced several compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, as of August 2024, the building is in the process of upgrading its fire alarm system to comply with 2022 code requirements, including the addition of monitoring radio, smoke detectors, and low-frequency sounders. A significant pattern of unauthorized unit modifications emerged in 2018, particularly involving Unit 52, which led to multiple violations for unauthorized wall removals, with complaints citing moisture issues, mold, and lead paint concerns. This renovation activity resulted in several building violations and complaints between 2018-2024, though many were eventually resolved. The building also has an open fire violation from May 2024 regarding sleeping area requirements and a recent violation related to boiler permit compliance filed in December 2024.

Historical records show substantial improvement work across various units, including documented renovations in Units 3, 4, 5, 42, 43, 51, 52, 54, and 55 between 2013-2021, focusing on kitchen and bathroom remodeling, though some of these projects initially proceeded without proper permits. The property underwent key infrastructure improvements, including water system upgrades (2014), reroofing (2018), and partial exterior spalling repairs (2018). The building's fire safety system has experienced recurring inspection attention between 2006-2024, with various fire-related issues being corrected, though a current violation regarding sleeping area requirements remains open. The property's maintenance history shows regular response to building code requirements and repairs, though the sequence of unauthorized modifications in 2018 raised significant resident safety and habitability concerns that required multiple correction permits and inspections to address.

Risk rating

How 425 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
51th percentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 84 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 6.5%
Moderate concern 89.4%
Severe concern 4.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
