2425 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The four-unit, three-story apartment building at 2425 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, owned by Chafen Less T & Margaret E, was constructed in 1951 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years. The most substantial work occurred in 2002-2003 when a major renovation project valued at $373,000 was completed, including remodeling units B, C, and D along with the entry lobby, followed by various related modifications including window installations and interior updates across different units.

Life safety improvements were implemented in 2003 with the installation of automatic detection systems in common areas and manual fire alarm boxes throughout the building. Recent maintenance and upgrades include electrical repairs in 2016 addressing issues such as wire replacement and grounding checks, and the installation of an EV charger in 2013, though this permit has since expired. The building has had routine housing inspections, with the most recent recorded in 2007, and there was one complaint in 2004 regarding unauthorized construction of a roof deck, although this was quickly addressed.

The property has experienced some environmental challenges in recent months, with multiple 311 calls related to damaged trees (including hanging limbs and fallen trees) in late 2024, though these were ultimately resolved. While there have been several recent 311 calls regarding the surrounding street area (including reports of graffiti and debris), these were related to public infrastructure rather than the building itself. A fire alarm system was unintentionally activated at the property, though no fire was involved and no civilian injuries were reported.
