2301-2303 Lawton St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 2301-2303 Lawton Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1941 and currently owned by Tony M. Dao and Le Thuy Diem, this flats & duplex structure has undergone several renovation projects over the years.

Notable improvements include a completed second-floor bathroom remodel in 2015 (valued at $20,000) and a filed master bathroom and kitchen renovation project in 2018, though the status indicates it was not completed. The building received some electrical upgrades in 2005 with the installation of two garage door openers, and a reroofing project was initiated in 1995, though this permit has since expired. Of particular concern is a recent complaint filed in October 2023 regarding an illegal unit, inadequate insulation, and unpermitted kitchen cooking equipment installation, which remains in "Not Active" status under Housing Inspection Services.

The property has also experienced numerous garbage and debris incidents between December 2024 and January 2025, with multiple 311 calls recorded for street cleaning purposes, though these appear to be primarily related to exterior maintenance rather than building conditions. The building has a history of fire safety violations documented from 2019 through 2023 at the nearby address of 1570 31st Avenue, including issues related to the alarm system, emergency evacuation plans, sprinkler system, and electrical clearance, all of which were subsequently abated. It's worth noting that while these violations occurred at a different address, they suggest potential historical compliance challenges in the area.
