1438-1442 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1438-1442 Hyde Street in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, owned by the Wong Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1911. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $70,000, achieving compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Recent maintenance includes reroofing work completed in 2017 at a cost of $24,000. The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure needs, with plumbing work completed in 2008 involving the replacement of hot and cold water copper pipes, and a previous reroofing project completed in 1989. The property has experienced some maintenance issues in the past, as evidenced by a routine housing inspection in 2003 that identified problems with door closures and chimney servicing, though these violations were promptly addressed and abated by June 2003.

More recently, there has been an ongoing pattern of parking enforcement issues outside the building, with multiple citations issued between September 2024 and January 2025 for driveway blocking, though these incidents are external to the building's operations. The building's permit history shows regular upkeep and compliance with various city requirements, including two street space permits issued in 2008 and 2016. All major structural and safety improvements, including the soft-story retrofit, have been properly completed and documented, with Certificates of Final Completion (CFC) issued where applicable.
