4242 Lawton St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building at 4242 Lawton Street in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood has been owned by Laurent Benoit Decoignac and Benoit Decoignac since 2012. Constructed in 1949, this apartment building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, in 2012, the building received a new roof ($9,250) and underwent substantial front stucco replacement (80% completed, $3,500).

Historical records show earlier improvements including window replacements in 1998, roofing work in 1992, kitchen cabinet installation in 1986, and interior modifications such as family room additions in 1983. A proposed kitchen installation in the lower floor in 1985 was ultimately canceled. The property has experienced several parking and street maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between 2022 and 2024, with at least six documented cases of parking violations including sidewalk parking and driveway blocking.

These incidents were generally addressed through parking enforcement, though some vehicles were either not located or had departed by the time authorities arrived. Other maintenance issues have included tree damage in 2023 (resolved), abandoned vehicles in 2023 (one towed), and instances of loose garbage requiring municipal cleanup in early 2023. While these recent service calls indicate ongoing neighborhood challenges, they primarily relate to exterior street conditions rather than direct building infrastructure concerns.
