422-426 Lyon St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 422-426 Lyon Street, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by David Parker Properties LLC, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program requirements, achieving compliance with Certificate of Final Completion issuance, though this was initially marked as a violation in 2019. Recent improvements include a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2023, installation of heat detectors, and electrical system enhancements including a new 400-amp service and seven sub-panels in 2024.

The building has also seen substantial interior improvements, with unit renovations including bathroom and kitchen remodels completed in 2014-2015, and a recent basement modification in 2023 to accommodate relocated electrical service meters. Historically, the property has faced several maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly in 2018-2019 when complaints were filed regarding peeling exterior paint and building weatherproofing. Building violations from 2003-2018 included concerns about stairs, drainage pipes, fire escape maintenance, and lead paint notifications, though all these violations have been marked as abated.

The building's systems and safety features have been subject to regular updates and inspections, with multiple fire safety inspections in 2014-2023 showing patterns of addressing blocked exits and alarm system issues, all of which were corrected. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have been primarily related to general maintenance and service requests, with one concerning a sewage backup being currently open. The property has also pursued the conversion of its basement area into additional dwelling units (ADUs), with this application currently showing as "On Hold" under Planning Records.
