2028 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 7-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2028 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, owned by Wong Trust The, is a century-old structure built in 1907 that has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, the building is currently in the process of upgrading its fire alarm system to comply with regulatory requirements, with permits issued for this work in November 2023. Recent infrastructure improvements include a complete roofing replacement in 2020 (cost: $20,000), gas line installations and repairs throughout the building (2020), and plumbing system upgrades including cast iron pipe replacements and water heater installations between 2011-2015.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat in 2010-2011, though these violations were subsequently addressed. The property has a history of unauthorized work and permit violations, particularly during 2012-2020, including unauthorized kitchen and bathroom renovations in various units, though most of these issues were resolved through subsequent permitting processes. Significant structural work was performed in 2001 including underpinning adjacent to 2022 Hyde Street.

The building has maintained active compliance with most housing regulations since resolving its major violations, though there have been multiple instances of residents reporting work done without appropriate permits. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking issues and street maintenance rather than building safety concerns, with only one fire alarm-related complaint on record from 2008 that was promptly resolved. The property's most recent planning record approved the installation of wireless equipment for AT&T Mobility in 2023.
