Initial analysis

The property at 4045-4047 Lincoln Way is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Outer Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1960 and currently held under the Chun Mea Joun Irrevocable Trust 20. The building's maintenance history shows some significant concerns, most notably an illegal unit installed in the garage area reported in 2007, which lacked proper fire escape access and remained an active violation until July 2009. The building has undergone several infrastructure improvements, including the installation of aluminum windows in 1986 and a completed underground electrical service conversion in 2003.

Recent external maintenance issues in the surrounding area have been documented through 311 calls, with the most recent being a garbage and debris complaint in July 2024 that was resolved. Between 2013 and 2020, various neighborhood concerns were reported, including hazardous conditions such as a missing side sewer vent cover (2017), structural maintenance needs in nearby parks (2016-2017), and incidents of illegal postings (2020). While these issues primarily relate to the public infrastructure surrounding the property rather than the building itself, they do provide context about the general maintenance environment of the area. The building's permit and violation history suggests that structural improvements have been made over time, though one significant safety violation occurred and was subsequently resolved.

Risk rating

How 4045-4047 Lincoln Way's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
