Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2215-2217 Lincoln Way in the Central Sunset neighborhood is a classic 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1931, currently owned by Elizabeth C Baham. The building's maintenance records show several significant infrastructure upgrades over the years, including a complete sewer lateral replacement from the house outlet to trap in February 2015, vinyl siding installation in March 1987, and street space and sidewalk repairs in September 2007. An electrical permit from December 2004 for installing lights, switches, and receptacles is recorded as expired, though it’s unclear whether this work was subsequently completed under a different permit.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street parking violations and garbage concerns in the surrounding area. Between 2020-2024, there have been multiple incidents of vehicles parking on sidewalks, with at least one resulting in a citation. Garbage management has been a notable concern, with several reports of overflowing city garbage cans in 2022 and instances of loose garbage requiring attention in 2021. The most recent documented issue is from August 2024 regarding a defaced MTA sign, though this may not directly impact the building or its residents. The pattern of complaints suggests ongoing challenges with street maintenance and parking compliance in the immediate vicinity, though these issues appear to be more related to the neighborhood rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2215-2217 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.
