Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 247 Lincoln Way in the Inner Sunset, owned by Kingston & Helen Jeung Revo, has undergone significant fire safety upgrades in 2023, including a $24,206 fire alarm system upgrade in September and an electrical modification to install new low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas in June to comply with San Francisco Fire Department requirements. These improvements follow a history of fire safety issues, as evidenced by multiple violations in 2003 related to the central alarm system and rear stair repairs, though these were promptly abated by April 2003.

The building, constructed in 1970, has experienced some maintenance and compliance challenges over the years. A notable incident occurred in October 2018 involving unauthorized construction work in the rear lot, reported as the "3rd non-permitted construction project in as many years." The property has also shown recurring issues with graffiti on adjacent sidewalks between 2017 and 2021, though these were addressed through city services. While the building's historical records show a completed reroofing project from 1992 and routine housing inspections, recent fire safety improvements indicate attention to critical building systems. The most recent 311 calls from 2021-2024 primarily relate to external issues such as street cleaning, graffiti, and parking violations, rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 247 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.
