1563 Lyon St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-story, 6-unit apartment building at 1563 Lyon Street, owned by the Bertha A King Living Trust, was constructed in 1904 in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement works, most notably reroofing projects in 2020 ($6,500) and 2011 ($10,500), demonstrating ongoing maintenance of the building's infrastructure.

The building experienced multiple inspections and violations between 2003-2009, with notable issues including lead paint concerns in 2005 that were resolved by April of the same year, and several safety and security violations in 2008 related to fire safety systems, garage storage, and lightwell access, all of which were addressed by February 2009. Recent activity includes two tenant buyouts in 2020 ($29,000 for 1 tenant) and 2022 ($100,000 for 2 tenants).

The property is currently under review for substantial redevelopment plans that could significantly alter the building's configuration and unit count, including the demolition of the detached garage, renovation of existing units, and addition of new ADUs, though some earlier proposals for similar work have been cancelled or marked as informational. Maintenance issues have persisted in recent years, with multiple reports of garbage and debris cases in 2024, though these appear to be external to the building itself. An open case regarding sidewalk defects due to tree roots was reported in July 2024, which may impact accessibility.
