This building has 51 novs (7y), above the Tenderloin average of 12.1.

This building's 87% risk is high in absolute terms; it still rates lower-risk here because buildings in Tenderloin generally score worse. The colour is relative to the neighborhood, the percentage is not.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 222-228 Hyde St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1911
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
58thpercentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 72 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
