1250 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1250 Hyde Street building, located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Lee Ding Bong & Amy Sau Fon. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably completing its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (with CFC issued), upgrading the fire alarm system in 2024 to comply with current fire codes, and substantial renovations to Apartment #1 in 2023 that included converting one bathroom into two, relocating doors, and modifying window configurations.

The building has also received various infrastructure updates, including furnace installation (2021), plumbing pipe replacements (2020), and electrical work in the basement and garage areas. The property has experienced multiple code compliance issues and violations over the years, particularly between 2005-2009, when it faced several fire safety violations including problems with fire escape ladders, fire extinguishers, and alarm systems. These issues were subsequently addressed and abated.

More recent concerns include a 2022 fire alarm system violation that was corrected, and a 2020 complaint about construction work occurring during shelter-in-place orders. Recent maintenance records show routine street cleaning responses and some minor building maintenance issues, with all significant compliance requirements now being met, including the removal of combustible materials and proper fire safety equipment maintenance. The building's most recent major works have focused on modernizing safety systems and improving resident amenities, suggesting a current commitment to maintaining building safety and habitability standards.
