758 Lyon St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The two-story, two-unit residential building at 758 Lyon St, owned by Silmon Cleveland Jr & Gladys, was built in 1900 and has experienced significant challenges in recent years. Notably, in 2022, the property faced multiple urgent issues including reports of being abandoned, infested with insects and rodents, and experiencing structural problems.

These conditions prompted Code Enforcement inspections and generated numerous complaints about hoarding, dilapidated interiors, and squatters, with violations related to egress obstructions, damaged windows, sanitation facilities, and excessive storage all recorded in September-October 2016. While many of these violations were abated by November 2016, there were subsequent repair permits issued in 2017 for various interior and structural issues, including wall repairs, stair repairs, and window replacements. Most recently, in March 2024, there was a complaint suggesting that construction work at the property was exceeding the scope of an issued permit, with concerns about structural problems across all floors.

Before this, the building underwent significant permitted renovations in late 2023 valued at $368,000, which included remodeling bathrooms and kitchens, adding new bathrooms, and repairing sheetrock and rear stairs. The property is currently in the planning stages for a potentially substantial renovation that proposes the addition of a garage, expansion of the second-floor unit, and conversion of the attic into a fourth floor, though this application is still under review as of October 2023. The building's recent history shows a pattern of significant maintenance and regulatory challenges, particularly between 2016-2022, followed by more substantial renovation efforts in 2023-2024.
