Initial analysis

334 Hyde Street is a three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1915 in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant structural improvements over the years, most notably a seismic retrofit completed in 2001 at a cost of $61,000, along with subsequent related structural work in 2003-2004 involving steel frame replacements. The building has experienced periodic maintenance and safety issues, including multiple fire code violations in 2020 that were eventually abated, and more recent fire safety concerns in 2024 involving sprinkler systems and sleeping area requirements, with one violation currently still open as of July 2024. The property has a history of various compliance issues, including a 2007 cluster of problems related to plumbing (slow drains), fire escape maintenance, pest control, and general sanitation, though these violations were ultimately abated.

Recent complaints from 2022 suggested unauthorized modifications to the property, including the construction of a large enclosed structure in the backyard with safety concerns about propane use and potential habitation. The building's systems have shown periodic issues, as evidenced by multiple fire safety violations between 2020 and 2024, including problems with extinguishers, alarm systems, and standpipe systems. Plumbing infrastructure was notably updated in 2015, with the disconnection and capping of an older boiler and backflow device. More recent maintenance history shows regular enforcement activity for parking violations in the area and occasional issues with encampments near the property, though these are external to the building itself. The property underwent a routine housing inspection in 2020, and various 311 calls in 2023-2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and parking enforcement in the vicinity of the building.

Risk rating

How 334 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
