1987 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 1987 Hyde Street is a two-story, mixed-use building from 1910, containing 4 residential units above a commercial space, located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with the most recent concern being an active complaint from February 2023 regarding the vacant commercial space. Historical problems include a significant plumbing issue in 2008 when water leaked from the building into the Swensen's Ice Cream store below, and a lead paint violation in 2016 that was not abated until 2021.

The building underwent various renovations and maintenance work, including commercial space improvements in 2007, roofing work in 1999, and the removal of an extended rooftop structure in 1996. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external maintenance issues, with multiple reports of garbage and debris on the street in 2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The building has a documented history of fire-related incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries, including smoke removal and smoke scare events.

Swensen's Ice Cream, the ground-floor commercial tenant, has been recognized as a legacy business in San Francisco, adding historical significance to the property. The property is currently under active monitoring by code enforcement, and while there have been numerous 311 calls in 2024, primarily regarding street maintenance and Muni-related issues, there haven't been any recent buildng-specific complaints or violations impacting resident safety or habitability. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and improvements, though some permits, like the reroofing work from 1999, have expired without confirmation of completion.
