306-308 Lawton St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 306-308 Lawton Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood has undergone significant renovations and faced notable challenges since its construction in 1939. Recent improvements include a completed reroofing project in July 2023 costing $13,678, and window replacement work in 2022 involving 14 windows and a patio door.

The most substantial renovation occurred in 2017-2018, when approximately $350,000 was invested in major updates to both units, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, the addition of a new full bath, garage modifications, electrical rewiring, plumbing upgrades, and the installation of new hydronic heating systems. The building experienced significant issues in early 2018, with multiple complaints regarding construction impacts including water damage, paint chipping, and electrical problems, which were subsequently addressed and officially abated by April 2018. Lead paint safety concerns were also documented during this period, though these violations were resolved.

The property's electrical infrastructure has been systematically upgraded over the years, including a 125-amp service upgrade in 2003 and various improvements in 2018. The current ownership group, Shui Har & Yau Cheung Louie, has maintained the property actively, with routine maintenance including recent reroofing and window replacement, while also addressing historical compliance issues such as lead hazard notifications. Two tenant buyouts were recorded at the property, in 2017 and 2022, with payments of $29,630 and $40,000 respectively.
