1827-1833 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 1827-1833 Hyde Street is a 4-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. Built in 1912 and currently owned by the Benny & Anna So Kwan Living Trust, this century-old building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. The most pressing current issue is an active violation from January 2024 regarding a potentially failing retaining wall between this property and the adjacent property at 1229 Green Street, which requires monthly monitoring.

The building has a documented history of stair-related maintenance, including repairs in 2001 and addressing dry rot issues in 2008, both affecting the rear exterior stairs. Recent improvements include a 2017 kitchen renovation in one unit with cabinet replacement and interior painting. Historical records show the building was equipped with a sprinkler system in 1989.

The property has undergone regular housing inspections in 2001, 2008, and 2016, with various violations noted during these inspections, including issues with garbage receptacles, handrails, and alarm system certification - though most of these violations are no longer active. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily involved exterior issues such as graffiti and urban forestry concerns, along with a 2022 report of a collapsed sidewalk that was subsequently resolved. The property has also received approvals for variance requests related to off-street parking.
