Initial analysis

The Wong Family Trust 2018 owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 2026-2028 Lawton Street in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1948, this flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past three decades. Most recently, in March 2024, permits were issued for a $10,000 project to replace the street-facing stucco on the main wall. The building has received consistent attention to essential maintenance, including a complete reroofing in 2003 (cost: $11,900) and significant front elevation work in 2000 that involved removing stucco under windows, addressing dry rot issues, and installing new vents (cost: $6,500). An earlier reroofing project was undertaken in 1991, though records indicate this permit expired.

The property has experienced minimal documented issues in recent years. In 2023, there was one parking enforcement call regarding sidewalk parking, but the responding officer was unable to locate the vehicle. In 2022, there was a report of a damaged side sewer vent cover, though inspection revealed no actual damage to the service at the specified address. A general street cleaning issue was reported and resolved in 2021. Recent planning records show an approved in-kind stucco repair project on the front façade, with no changes to the building's appearance or architectural details. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with particular attention paid to addressing structural elements such as roofing and exterior walls.

Risk rating

How 2026-2028 Lawton St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
