326 Lawton St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 326 Lawton Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Sawyer Family Revocable Trust, has undergone significant recent improvements and maintenance since its construction in 1900. The most substantial current project, initiated in September 2023, involves expanding the third-floor bedroom and adding a bathroom by raising the existing roofline, with associated work continuing into 2024 including plumbing and electrical installations. The building has received important safety upgrades, including a partial seismic retrofit and foundation strengthening in 2021 (cost: $50,000), followed by voluntary structural upgrades and exterior foundation replacement work in 2022 (cost: $25,000).

Recent maintenance includes replacement of windows (scheduled for 2025), reroofing work completed in 2024, and various interior updates such as the 2013 kitchen renovation. The property has addressed several infrastructure needs over the years, including gas line installations in 2022, electrical system updates, and plumbing improvements. Historical records show significant exterior improvements were made in 2013, including facade replacement with stucco and a new entry landing.

The building's maintenance history indicates regular upkeep and modernization efforts, though there have been some recent concerns with tree roots damaging the sidewalk in 2023, which remain open with the Department of Public Works. The street outside the property has experienced typical urban issues, with several parking enforcement calls between 2022 and 2024, as well as occasional reports of waste that have been resolved through normal city channels. The building's renovation and maintenance history suggests ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property to meet modern standards while preserving its historical character.
