630-632 Lawton St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 630-632 Lawton St in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1946 and currently owned by the Leong/iwan Family Trust. The building has a documented history of structural maintenance dating back several decades, with repairs to external stairways, handrails, and dry rot issues recorded in 2001, 1996, 1985, and most recently in 2023, addressing both safety and weather-related concerns.

A notable expansion was completed in 2000, adding a bedroom, playroom, and full bathroom to the ground floor. In recent years, the property has faced multiple fire safety concerns, with violations recorded in 2022, 2023, 2024, and September 2024 related to various fire code requirements, including alarm systems and multiple fire code violations.

The building's surrounding area has experienced recurring municipal service issues, particularly regarding street maintenance and waste management, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans and debris between 2022 and 2024. A 2023 city inspection noted that an adjacent street tree would be addressed under the StreetTreeSF program, which prioritizes tree maintenance based on condition and public safety needs. It's important to note that while the building has undergone several repairs and improvements over the years, the recurring fire code violations and recent maintenance issues warrant attention, though many historical structural problems have been addressed through appropriate permits and repairs.
