Initial analysis

The building at 222-228 Hyde Street is a 3-story, 4-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1911 and currently owned by Ogabhain Living Trust. The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues over the years, with particular concerns in recent months. Most notably, there are multiple open violations from October 2024 related to fire safety, including problems with exits/obstructions, exit signs, sprinklers, fire extinguisher service, and other code requirements. The building has experienced significant water-related incidents, including reports in 2022 of sewage leaks affecting the ground floor commercial space, which allegedly caused ceiling collapse and extensive flooding. There are also recent active complaints from 2024 regarding possible unauthorized construction work and related violations.

Historical records show various renovation and safety improvement projects, including sprinkler system installations and modifications, electrical work, plumbing improvements, and fire safety system upgrades. A series of fire code violations between 2018 and 2024 indicate ongoing challenges with safety systems, including alarms, extinguishers, and sprinkler maintenance. Building violations from January 2011 addressed multiple habitability issues such as heating, water damage, window repair, and rodent infestation, though these were marked as abated. The property has undergone several inspections and permit applications over the years, with varying degrees of compliance, and has generated multiple 311 calls in recent months regarding noise and sanitation issues.

Risk rating

How 222-228 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.
