2632-2636 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The eight-unit residential building at 2632-2636 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, owned by James Claussen, is a two-story flats structure dating back to 1914. The property has a notable history of compliance issues, with the most recent concern arising in January 2024 regarding unauthorized construction work at the north elevation involving new railings, exterior wall modification, and new pipes, which was addressed and completed by February 2024.

The building has had an active violation on record since June 2004 concerning property line windows at the north elevation that were changed without proper permits, including one window that opens over the property line - this violation initiated abatement proceedings that were ongoing into 2005. Earlier violations from 2006 involved unpermitted modifications to wood stairs, though these were eventually resolved.

The building has undergone several routine inspections in 2004, 2006, and 2008, with the most recent permits showing maintenance work including plumbing repairs in 2024, gas pipe installation in 2013, and electrical system maintenance in 2020 involving a 400-amp main service. While recent maintenance activities suggest ongoing property upkeep, the historical pattern of unpermitted modifications and violation proceedings is notable, with the remaining unresolved window violation from 2004 representing the only currently active violation on record.
