1437 Lincoln Way, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1437 Lincoln Way in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood was built in 1965 and contains 4 units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades, with the most recent concerns centered around exterior maintenance and plumbing systems. In 2021, the building faced issues with deteriorating exterior paint on the west side, posing potential safety hazards with falling paint.

Earlier, in 2016, there were problems with water intrusion affecting an adjacent property, requiring drain repairs, while security concerns were raised in late 2016 about the front door's functionality potentially compromising building security. The building has been subject to multiple routine inspections and violations, including fire safety issues in 2001 (fire escape obstruction and smoke detector problems) and various compliance matters in 2011-2021, such as lead paint hazards, fire extinguisher maintenance, and interior surface conditions. The property has undergone several repair works, including water damage remediation in late 2017 involving rear wall repairs with stucco siding.

Earlier infrastructure updates include a completed installation of a 200-amp electrical service in 2004. Recent activity around the property in 2023-2024 has primarily involved parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of driveway blocking, though most of these cases were either resolved without citation or were marked as unable to locate the offending vehicle. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water drainage systems and exterior maintenance, suggesting ongoing attention to building envelope and infrastructure systems is required.
