Initial analysis

The property at 2017-2019 Lincoln Way is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Jeffery S. Skale and Eugeiane, and constructed in 1925. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent major work being a complete reroofing in 2021 costing $26,650, and a furnace replacement in 2015. Historical records show attention to structural integrity and safety, with termite and dry rot repairs completed in 1994, and multiple stairway maintenance projects in 1989 addressing safety concerns. Earlier improvements include kitchen cabinet replacement in 2002 and window replacements in 1995.

The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and response to urban challenges typical of the neighborhood, though none indicating serious building-specific issues. The most recent service calls have primarily involved street-level concerns such as pavement defects (2023), graffiti (2023), and parking violations (2022), with all being promptly addressed through appropriate city services. The property has generally been well-maintained, with no recorded building violations or major safety concerns in recent years. Historical permits indicate ongoing upkeep, with particular attention paid to roofing (replaced in both 1995 and 2021) and structural elements, though some older permits from the 1990s show as expired, likely due to their completion occurring prior to current permit tracking systems. The building's maintenance pattern suggests regular upkeep by ownership, though current residents should be aware of the age of some building systems given the structure's nearly century-old status.

Risk rating

How 2017-2019 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.
