Augrented Insights Report

2238 Hyde Street is a 15-story, 17-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by 2238 Hyde Street LLC. The building has undergone numerous renovations and maintenance work over the past several years, including recent substantial improvements in 2024 to Unit #2 featuring new kitchen cabinets, plumbing fixtures, appliances, and lighting, with similar updates previously completed in Units #10 and #14.

Significant building-wide improvements include a voluntary fire alarm system upgrade in 2019, west facade window replacement on floors 3-15 in 2017, and various plumbing upgrades including a backflow preventer installation in 2015 and fire pump replacement in 2014. Of particular concern are multiple recent fire safety violations documented between 2023 and 2025, including issues with sprinkler/standpipe systems, fire escape maintenance, alarm systems, and various fire command center features, many of which have been referred to hearings for correction.

The building has experienced recurring elevator-related incidents, including multiple instances of occupants being trapped in stalled elevators, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2020-2021. Historical records show a notable safety incident in 2006 involving unpermitted glass balcony installation, which resulted in glass falling onto the street below, though this violation was ultimately abated in 2007. Regular maintenance and upgrades have been implemented, including the installation of a new steam boiler in 2008 and electrical system improvements, but the recent cluster of fire safety violations suggests there may be ongoing challenges with maintaining current safety standards.
