2037 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2037 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, built in 1916, has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2015 as a Tier 3 building. This retrofit, which included the installation of moment frames and rear shear walls, was a substantial project with a documented cost of $90,000 and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC).

The building has a history of addressing safety and code compliance issues, including the installation of fire sprinklers in 1987 and a reroofing project in 2007 costing $13,500. Recent concerns have emerged as of 2024, with a complaint filed in January regarding an improperly installed flood light in the rear yard that allegedly operates continuously, causing disruption to multiple neighbors. This recent complaint has drawn attention to potential concerns about unauthorized rental activities, though these claims require further verification.

The building's history includes several routine inspections and corrections of violations in the early 2000s, primarily related to unauthorized construction work, plumbing, electrical issues, and ceiling repairs, all of which were subsequently abated. The proper unit count has been a point of clarification, with records indicating a possible discrepancy between 6 and 7 units, though this appears to have been resolved through permit revisions in 2015. The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to both building systems and safety improvements, with no active violations or complaints as of the most recent records.
