15 Lincoln Way, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 14-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 15 Lincoln Way in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Lee Thomas C & Leona G, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit (Tier 3) in September 2024, following previous permits in 2017, 2019, and a final revision in January 2024.

The building has faced multiple fire safety challenges, including several violations between 2017-2022 related to alarm systems, exit blockages, fire extinguishers, and fire escape conditions, all of which have been subsequently corrected and abated. Three routine inspections between 2017 and 2021 revealed various issues requiring attention, including interior surface repairs, lead hazard concerns, and gas utility shutoff tool requirements. The property has maintained active compliance with its soft-story retrofit requirements, now holding a Certificate of Final Completion.

Historical records from 1989 show maintenance work including reroofing and balcony repairs, while more recent 311 calls from December 2024 through January 2025 indicate typical urban maintenance issues near the property, such as graffiti removal, transportation inquiries, and street cleaning matters. The building's fire incident history shows no significant injuries or major incidents, with most calls relating to false alarms, detector activations, or assistance requests. The property has maintained consistent communication with building authorities, addressing violations and completing required work, though there have been periods requiring multiple notices and inspections to achieve full compliance with safety codes.
