The property at 2642-2644 Hyde Street in Russian Hill is a two-unit, two-story residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by 2642-44 Hyde St LLC. The building has a documented history of structural modifications and violations primarily related to rear stair and balcony maintenance. Most recently, in 2023-2024, there were multiple permit applications and violations regarding repairs to back stairs and balcony infrastructure, including a significant complaint filed in December 2023 about unauthorized work involving post supports, stair modifications, and window trim replacements.

Historically, the property has faced several enforcement actions and violations. In 2004, there was an unpermitted construction issue regarding a metal deck/balcony at the rear, which eventually led to a legalization process completed in 2004.

Previous years showed multiple compliance issues, including unauthorized electrical and plumbing modifications in 2004, unpermitted rear porch construction in 2008, and various construction without permits in 2000. The building's maintenance record shows attention to structural elements, particularly in recent years, with balcony repairs currently permitted for $1,500. Additionally, the property has experienced some external infrastructure issues, with recent 311 calls in 2023 indicating sidewalk problems and tree root concerns, though these are external to the building itself.
