Initial analysis

The 18-unit, 4-story apartment building at 337 Hyde Street, owned by Postal Fmly 2014 Tr, was constructed in 1915 and is currently facing significant maintenance challenges. Most notably, there have been recurring elevator issues, with multiple complaints between 2018 and 2023 indicating extended periods of inoperability, including a current complaint from December 2023 stating the elevator has been out for two years. Recent health and safety concerns have emerged, including complaints about water issues in kitchens, pest problems, and ceiling leaks. The building's fire safety systems have also been a concern, with violations issued in 2024 for elevators not working and sleeping area requirements, along with past issues in 2018 related to alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and exit maintenance, though many of these have been marked as condition corrected or abated.

The building has undergone some structural work over the years, including reroofing in 2011 and parapet wall bracing in 1985. A series of building violations were documented in 2007-2008, primarily related to interior maintenance issues such as cleaning, surface repairs, and smoke detector requirements, though these were subsequently abated. Recent maintenance history shows ongoing concerns about basic building systems and tenant comfort, with multiple complaints about plumbing issues, flooring problems, and general disrepair. The property has also generated several 311 calls regarding street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance, though these are external to the building itself. While some historical violations have been resolved, there are currently open violations related to fire safety requirements as of October 2024, indicating persistent regulatory compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 337 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
61th percentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 67 are predicted to be safer.
