324 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109
The 12-unit apartment building at 324 Hyde Street in the Tenderloin, owned by Lee Kai Man & Lo May Wong T, was constructed in 1917 and has experienced several significant events impacting resident safety and building maintenance. Most notably, in April 2024, multiple fire safety violations were documented, including issues with exits and pathways, doors being blocked open, exit sign maintenance, alarm system upkeep, and fire extinguisher requirements. A serious plumbing incident occurred in May 2022 involving sewage backup in a basement unit, which was reported as affecting walls and interior spaces.
The building's fire safety systems were addressed in 2016 with a voluntary replacement of the fire alarm system, including new control panels and smoke detectors, though recurring fire safety violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. Historical issues include significant violations from 2000-2008 related to fire safety, including rusty fire escape cables and expired fire extinguishers, as well as concerns about public hallways and rear stairs. The building underwent reroofing work in 1992, and there are records from 1996 regarding an illegal basement unit, though the status of this unit remains unclear.
Recent maintenance and safety concerns are highlighted by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding building and street conditions, including reports of garbage, debris, and graffiti. The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with violations in 2024 related to sleeping area requirements, fire extinguisher maintenance, and exit access. The building's management has made some efforts to address these concerns, as evidenced by the 2016 fire alarm system upgrade and historical violation corrections, but the pattern of recurring violations suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining fire safety compliance and addressing resident needs promptly. The most recent documented fire safety violations from April 2024 have been referred to hearing, indicating pending regulatory review and potential enforcement.
