845 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 16-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 845 Hyde Street, constructed in 1919 and owned by the Trust Of George C & Joan L, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most recently, in 2024, the building has seen substantial plumbing and infrastructure updates, including the installation of new laundry facilities in the basement, a new concrete electrical pad, and ongoing work related to floor drains and sump pumps. The property has a notable history of addressing safety concerns, with seismic rehabilitation completed in 1994 and parapet reinforcing in 1988.

However, there have been recurring issues with building systems and resident comfort, including multiple complaints about heating problems (most notably in 2016), water leaks, and various maintenance concerns that have required attention through the housing inspection process. The building's safety systems have required regular maintenance, as evidenced by multiple fire safety inspections and violations regarding extinguishers, alarm systems, and sleep area requirements. Most of these violations have been resolved, though a violation regarding sleeping area requirements from December 2023 remains open.

The property has experienced several fire-related incidents, primarily involving false alarms and cooking-related situations, with no civilian injuries reported. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 regarding the surrounding area have primarily reported issues related to sidewalk cleanliness and waste management. While the building has undergone various upgrades, including boiler replacement in 2016 and multiple plumbing improvements, the maintenance history suggests periodic challenges with building systems and infrastructure that have required ongoing attention.
