Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 135 Lincoln Way in the Inner Sunset, owned by Santini Lvg Tr, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant renovations over the past few years. Most notably, in 2019, comprehensive remodeling was completed in units 2, 3, and 4, including bathroom and kitchen renovations, installation of new cabinets, fixtures, and electrical systems, with each unit receiving a new 30-amp sub panel. The building also received a new roof in 2019 at a cost of $36,000, and more recently, in 2022, all three units had their wall heaters replaced.

The property has a history of building violations and complaints, particularly in 2003-2006, including issues related to fire safety, security requirements, and water damage. These violations were all addressed and abated by April 2003, though there were subsequent complaints in 2006 regarding water damage and inadequate lighting in common hallways. More recent issues primarily involve external factors, such as graffiti (notably in 2023), sidewalk cleanliness, and various 311 calls relating to street maintenance. The building has experienced two documented fire alarm system malfunctions, but fortunately, neither incident resulted in injuries.

Risk rating

How 135 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.
