Initial analysis

168 Hyde Street is a four-story, 31-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 2007, currently owned by Rgmj Lp. The building's construction was completed after several significant permits were issued, including a fire sprinkler system ($62,000), fire alarm system ($23,000), mechanical work for ventilation and electrical systems ($20,000), and various plumbing and electrical installations totaling over $100,000. The property has experienced several concerning maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most recent violations occurring in 2024 related to standpipe systems, sleeping area requirements, and alarm system maintenance, though some of these violations were later marked as abated. A notable pattern of complaints emerged between 2016 and 2021, with issues including elevator maintenance, electrical system problems, fire safety concerns, and pest infestations in common areas. The building's fire safety systems have been a recurring focus of inspections and violations, with multiple instances of sprinkler system, fire alarm, and extinguisher-related issues documented between 2013 and 2024. Recent 311 calls from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing concerns about the building's exterior environment, including issues with garbage debris and sidewalk conditions. The property has also faced challenges with illegal short-term rentals, though these violations were eventually abated. While the building has undergone numerous inspections and addressed many of its violations over the years, the recent pattern of fire safety violations in 2024 suggests continued attention to building systems may be required.

Risk rating

How 168 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, 28 are predicted to be safer.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 17.7%
Moderate concern 56.8%
Severe concern 25.5%
