204 Lawton St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 204 Lawton Street in the Inner Sunset, owned by Wai Hong & Ashley Xiaoyue W, was constructed in 1968 and has undergone several significant events throughout its history. Most notably, in April 2002, the building experienced a comprehensive housing inspection that identified multiple safety and maintenance issues, particularly concerning fire safety and gas utility requirements.

These violations, all of which were resolved by May 23, 2002, included problems with the north fire escape egress, fire escape drop ladder maintenance, and gas utility shutoff tool requirements, suggesting a temporary period of concern regarding emergency access and utility safety. The building received two permits in early 1982, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the records. More recent developments include planning records showing the building was issued and approved a variance for rear yard modifications to add an elevator to the existing three-family dwelling, indicating an effort to enhance accessibility for residents.

The property's 311 call history from 2018 onwards shows primarily routine urban maintenance issues, including street defects, flooding, and several sign repair requests, as well as parking enforcement matters. The most recent building-related 311 calls in 2023-2024 were for various street maintenance and parking issues, though these are external to the building itself. The building's inspection history suggests it has maintained compliance with housing codes since the 2002 violations were addressed, though the records do not provide detailed information on subsequent inspections or maintenance history.
