Initial analysis

The property at 719-721 Lincoln Way is a 2-unit mixed-use building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Margaret A Zeiter 2001 Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant upgrades and maintenance work over the past decade, with the most recent being a gas pipe repair completed in December 2024 and door-related work in February 2023. Notable infrastructure improvements include a sewer line repair (2017), water service replacement (2016), and an electrical upgrade to 200-amp service (2004). The building experienced a cluster of lead paint-related violations in late 2016, which were resolved by November 2016, though this incident warrants attention due to potential resident safety implications.

The commercial portion of the property, formerly a limited restaurant, underwent a successful conversion to a full-service restaurant (SIP Tea Room) in 2018, including various improvements such as counter installations and compliance upgrades in 2003. Recent permits indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, including door replacements in 2023. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including roofing work in 1994 and various storefront improvements. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external public space issues like graffiti and encampments, which are typical for the area and not directly related to the building's condition or management. A significant tenant buyout occurred in July 2024 at a nearby address (727 Lincoln Way) for $125,000 involving one tenant, though this is not directly connected to the subject property.

Risk rating

How 719-721 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.
