2638-2640 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2638-2640 Hyde Street in Russian Hill was built in 1904 and is currently owned by Cheryl J. Fung. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most notable being dry rot and termite remediation work completed in 2008, following a comprehensive report by Lingruen Associates from 2005 that identified multiple affected areas.

In 2006, the building underwent a routine housing inspection that resulted in multiple safety citations, including requirements for smoke detectors, security measures, and gas shutoff tools, though all violations were abated by June 15, 2006. Earlier renovation work in the early 1990s included several exploratory and revision projects related to the ground floor, while a complaint about an unauthorized deck installation was filed in 2005 and resolved within one month. The building's recent history shows generally minimal internal issues, with no major complaints or violations recorded since 2006.

External maintenance has been addressed through several 311 calls over the past few years, primarily related to street cleaning, sign maintenance, and temporary moving-related requests, with the most recent issues being defaced signs in 2021 and general cleaning matters in 2022. A fire incident record from 700 is noted as a false alarm or call, with no civilian injuries reported. The building appears to have maintained compliance with housing codes since the 2006 violations were resolved, though the age of the building and its documented history of dry rot and termite issues suggest ongoing maintenance and monitoring are likely required.
