Initial analysis

The property at 2233-2235 Lincoln Way is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1929 and owned by Joseph M & Margaret H Baker, this flats and duplex building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Recent structural work includes a complete repipe of the water line from the meter to the house in 2013 and main sewer line work in 2014, though the plumbing permit for the latter has expired. Earlier improvements include a bathroom remodel in 2002, reroofing in 1995, aluminum window installation in 1992, and replacement of staircase platforms in 1983. The building has required several street space permits over the years, with the most recent being issued in 2014.

The property has been subject to multiple public service calls in recent years, primarily related to parking enforcement issues. Between 2021 and 2024, there have been several reports of sidewalk parking violations, resulting in multiple citations. Other concerns include a recurring issue with street cleaning requirements, as evidenced by reports of overflowing city garbage cans and loose garbage, with the most recent cleaning complaint occurring in July 2024. While the building's major systems have received regular attention through permits and improvements, the frequency of parking-related complaints in the immediate vicinity suggests a persistent transportation management challenge in the area. The majority of documented permits and improvements appear to focus on infrastructure maintenance rather than major renovations or alterations.

Risk rating

How 2233-2235 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.

Neighborhood percentile
