Initial analysis

Located in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, 233-235 Lincoln Way is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1922. The property, currently owned by Juliana Brodsky and Rosenblat, has undergone significant recent improvements, including the current installation of a fire sprinkler system on the first floor with 13 sprinklers and the addition of a new one-bedroom unit at the first floor, which will include a kitchen, living area, closets, and laundry facilities. These improvements, totaling over $120,000 in construction costs, are part of a broader renovation effort that began in 2023 and included the installation of underground fire service lines and hydraulic radiant heat systems in late 2023. The building has a documented history of staircase maintenance, with repairs performed in 2003 and most recently in 2024, addressing safety concerns for this critical egress element.

The property has experienced several periods of construction activity followed by code compliance issues, including complaints in 2021 regarding unauthorized kitchen remodeling and garage work, though these issues were resolved. Historical records show a past complaint in 2002 about unauthorized interior renovations, which was promptly addressed. Recent infrastructure improvements have focused on safety systems, including a new fire sprinkler installation, though there was one complaint in December 2021 regarding construction beyond the scope of the permit related to kitchen work. The building's systems have been regularly updated, with recent permits showing work related to kitchens, bathrooms, and electrical systems, including new wiring installations and plumbing modifications. While there has been some recent activity related to sewer systems, including a sewage discharge incident in December 2024, this was resolved by the PUC Sewer Operations team. The property has received multiple parking enforcement calls in late 2024, though responding officers were generally unable to locate the reported vehicles. The building's fire safety record shows one minor building fire incident with no civilian injuries, categorized as "unintentional."

Risk rating

How 233-235 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.

Grade C — Moderate risk
