1459-1469 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story multifamily residential building at 1459-1469 Hyde Street in Nob Hill, owned by Briggs & Fontenot LLC, is a 1907 flat-and-store structure with 13 units that has undergone significant seismic and accessibility improvements in recent years. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018, which included both residential and commercial seismic work costing over $200,000, bringing the property into compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements.

Subsequent to this work, there have been two active violations as of August 2024 regarding the submission of required Section 604 and smoke/carbon monoxide affidavits, though no violations were observed during the inspection. The building has maintained regular upkeep with several infrastructure improvements, including the installation of gas fireplaces between 2016-2020, sewer line replacement in 2016, and various electrical upgrades. Planning records show the installation of AT&T mobility equipment on the roof, with testing requirements implemented for nearby Spring Valley Elementary School.

The property has experienced periodic fire safety inspections, with corrected conditions noted for fire extinguishers and alarm systems in 2018 and 2022 respectively. Recent 311 calls (from 2024-2025) have primarily concerned external issues such as sidewalk lifting and tree maintenance, while building-related complaints have been relatively minimal, primarily consisting of routine inspections and one instance of construction noise in 2009. The soft-story retrofit compliance has resulted in reduced monitoring fees, and the building's fire safety systems appear generally well-maintained with prompt attention to identified issues.
