Initial analysis

The 22-unit, 5-story multi-family residential building at 309-317 Hyde Street, owned by SF Hotel 447 LP, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone numerous repairs and improvements over the years. The property has recently addressed several significant accessibility and safety concerns, including the legalization of an awning for Sing Sing Coffee Shop in 2024, re-roofing work completed in early 2024, and installation of an accessible business entrance program in 2023. In 2021, the building system was upgraded with low-frequency sounders in bedrooms, though there were fire safety violations issued in August 2024 regarding extinguishers and standpipe systems that remain open or were previously abated.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with essential systems, particularly heating and elevator functionality, with multiple complaints between 2011 and 2020 regarding heat outages and elevator problems. Historical violations from 2010 included various maintenance issues such as broken windows and weatherproofing problems, while more recent records show efforts to improve building safety, including fire alarm system upgrades and unit renovations. The property has undergone substantial interior improvements over the years, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units between 2007 and 2012, and electrical system upgrades to meet modern code requirements. The most recent 311 calls indicate ongoing challenges with street cleanliness around the property, though these external issues are typically addressed promptly by city services.

Risk rating

How 309-317 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

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 88 are predicted to be safer.
