Initial analysis

1341 Lincoln Way is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1958, currently under the ownership of the Chang Family Trust. The building has undergone several important maintenance and safety improvements over the years, including a reroofing project completed in 1997 and the installation of a 200-amp underground electrical service completed in 2005. A significant cluster of building violations was documented in May 2001, primarily related to fire safety and security concerns, including issues with the fire escape drop ladder, fire extinguisher tagging, gas meter instructions, and entry door security. These violations were promptly addressed and officially abated by June 29, 2001.

More recent maintenance issues have emerged, with the most recent documented problem being a missing side sewer vent cover reported in February 2024, which was subsequently resolved by PG&E. The property has experienced various general maintenance and cleaning issues in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2016 and 2024, though these were primarily related to street cleaning, parking concerns, and park maintenance rather than building-specific problems. The building's violation history and recent maintenance record suggest regular upkeep and prompt attention to safety issues when they arise, with no active violations on record since 2001.

Risk rating

How 1341 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.
