1801 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1801 Hyde Street in Russian Hill was constructed in 1922 and has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, the building completed a comprehensive renovation of Units 11 and 12 in 2023, including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, with additional improvements to enhance lateral resistance.

This followed the successful completion of mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2016, achieving Tier 3 compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion issued. The building has maintained its safety systems, as evidenced by a 2021 fire alarm system upgrade, though there have been recurring fire safety equipment issues, with fire extinguisher inspections noting "Condition Corrected" in 2016, 2018, and most recently in 2023. In late 2024, the building received several building violations related to safety and maintenance, including issues with the fire escape ladder, smoke/carbon monoxide detector compliance, and heating system components, though these were abated by December 2024.

The property has a history of addressing structural and maintenance issues, including a 1988 repair of brick damage caused by a vehicle and various plumbing and electrical upgrades over the years. Recent complaints and 311 calls indicate ongoing maintenance needs, particularly regarding exterior elements such as sidewalks (collapsed sidewalk reported in 2022) and tree-related issues (lifted sidewalk tree roots reported in 2023). The building's management has generally responded to violations and maintenance issues, as evidenced by the prompt abatement of most recent complaints and ongoing efforts to maintain building systems.
