1025 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 1025 Hyde Street, built in 1914 and currently owned by the Woo Family Trust since 2016, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past few decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $45,000, demonstrating compliance with current safety standards. Other major improvements include a $20,000 reroofing project completed in 2018, window replacements at the rear of the building in 1997, and a comprehensive interior renovation in 2003 that updated the kitchen, bathroom, finishes, and fixtures.

The building experienced some notable issues in 2009, when multiple violations were recorded including problems with water damage, fire extinguisher maintenance, wall conditions, and central alarm system certifications, though all were resolved by April 2009. Earlier complaints from 1995 to 1998 indicated various maintenance concerns including lighting issues, carpet conditions, and general upkeep of common areas, but these were also resolved. Recent history shows no active building violations or major maintenance issues, though there have been several external clean-up calls reported through 311 services, primarily for sidewalk cleaning needs between 2012 and 2021.

The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to basic upkeep and compliance with safety requirements. The most recent building permit activity was the completion of the soft-story retrofit, which is particularly relevant given San Francisco's seismic requirements. The building's age is reflected in its maintenance history, with periodic roof replacements and window updates being standard for similar vintage properties. The transition of ownership to the Woo Family Trust in 2016 appears to have coincided with a period of improved building maintenance and compliance, though this observation is based on the available permit and violation history.
