1861 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1861 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Levinson Family Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1910. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016-2017 with a steel moment frame installation (cost: $46,000), and has recently upgraded its fire alarm system to comply with SF Fire Code requirements (completed February 2024, cost: $40,309).

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, with back stair repairs completed in 2001 and reroofing work done in 1998, indicating regular upkeep of essential building systems. The building experienced multiple safety and maintenance issues between 2000-2002, including problems with stairs, fire safety equipment, security features, and heating systems, though all these violations were abated by June 2001.

More recent history shows no similar pattern of violations, and the most recent fire alarm system complaint from September 2024 was found to have "no merit." The property has also addressed various external maintenance issues reported through 311 calls, including street cleaning and tree maintenance matters. Current records show no active building violations or complaints related to the building's systems or safety features, suggesting improved maintenance practices in recent years. The building has received the necessary Certificates of Final Completion (CFC) for its seismic retrofit work, placing it in Tier 4 status according to San Francisco's soft-story program requirements.
