Augrented Insights Report

The two-unit residential building at 636-638 Lawton Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1946, currently owned by the Tong Family Trust. The property's documented improvements include an electrical service upgrade in January 2004, when the building's electrical system was modernized from a 30-amp to a 100-amp service entrance - a significant safety and utility improvement.

A street space permit was also issued in July 2010, though the minimal associated cost suggests this may have been for routine use. The property has generated various municipal service calls over the years, primarily regarding street and sidewalk maintenance issues. The most recent incident occurred in April 2024, involving a driveway blocking complaint that resulted in a parking citation.

Prior incidents include a general cleaning request for loose garbage in February 2022, and a tree maintenance request in November 2016. There have been two reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, one in November 2018 and another in April 2009, but in both cases the vehicles were gone when authorities arrived. While the building's permit history shows some maintenance updates, there are no recorded building code violations or significant safety concerns in recent years.
