1015 Lincoln Way, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 1015 Lincoln Way in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1963, has undergone several significant safety upgrades over the past decade. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofitting in 2014 as a Tier 3 soft-story structure, reinforcing the ground floor with steel rapid frames both at the front and rear.

Recent safety improvements include a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 to meet current fire code requirements, with the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and an updated fire panel, along with the replacement of outdated federal pacific breaker panels in September 2023. The building has also seen substantial infrastructure improvements, including a complete gas line extension to all units in 2017, conversion to underground electrical service in 2005, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both safety and quality of life improvements, with recent aesthetic updates such as bathroom renovations in 2021.

A routine housing inspection in 2001 identified several fire safety and utility maintenance issues, including problems with the fire escape drop ladder, garbage receptacle sprinkler requirements, and gas utility shutoff tools, though all these violations were promptly abated by June 2001. The property has maintained active compliance with all building codes since then, with no active violations on record. Recent 311 calls related to the property primarily concern external factors such as street maintenance and tree issues, rather than building-specific concerns, indicating generally maintained conditions.
