1761-1773 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1761-1773 Hyde Street in Russian Hill, owned by Chik Wan Jung Living Trust, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant structural improvements over recent years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2017 at a cost of $120,000, achieving full compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

In 2018, the property underwent substantial repairs to address safety violations related to an unauthorized roof deck, including the replacement of unsafe stair and deck structures at a cost of $60,000. These violations, which had been documented in a May 2018 inspection, included serious safety concerns such as insufficient floor supports and improper truss system connections. The building has a history of maintenance work including multiple roof replacements (2011 and 2012) and siding replacement (1999), though several routine inspection violations from 2011 and 2017 remain of note, including concerns about gas meter instructions, roof deck repairs, hot water heater seismic bracing, and fire safety equipment.

Recent history shows the property has been involved in several 311 reports primarily related to external maintenance issues such as sidewalk cleaning, though none suggest immediate concerns about the building's structural integrity or safety systems. While there were three fire-related complaints in December 2017 regarding fire extinguishers, street numbering, and blocked exits, all were either found to have no merit or were referred to the Department of Building Inspection, with no documented civilian injuries from these incidents. The most recent building safety inspections suggest improved maintenance, with the notable exception of a September 2024 complaint regarding excessive noise that remains open.
