220 Lily St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The property at 220 Lily Street in Hayes Valley is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1991, currently owned by the Digiovanni Trust. The building has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly during 2019, when multiple violations were documented across several inspections. These violations included inadequate lighting, electrical issues, door repairs, plumbing concerns, sanitation problems, and various maintenance items that were eventually abated by January 2020 through notices of violation and final warnings.

A major cluster of violations filed in August 2019 raised serious safety concerns, including unauthorized construction of an allegedly illegal third unit, unapproved electrical and plumbing work, inadequate smoke detectors, improper egress through the garage, fire separation problems, and inadequate sleeping room dimensions. The building also experienced recurring issues with hot water, mold, and door problems during mid-2019, along with concerns about a locked fire escape. More recent history of the property shows continued activity primarily related to parking enforcement and street cleaning outside the building, with multiple parking violations recorded between 2021 and 2024.

These external issues, however, do not directly impact the building's internal conditions. The most recent documented building-related incident was a water or steam leak, though no civilian injuries were reported. The combination of historical violations, particularly those related to safety and habitability in 2019, and the subsequent period without similar complaints, suggests that while the building underwent significant maintenance and compliance corrections in late 2019, there was previously a substantial period of deferred maintenance and safety concerns that required attention through the housing inspection process.
