1243 Lawton St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1243 Lawton Street in the Inner Sunset, owned by the Johnny Nguyen Revocable Living Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1945. Most recently, in January 2022, approximately 1,200 square feet of old stucco was repaired and replaced at the rear of the building at a cost of $8,000. A notably concerning incident occurred in 2018 when the building was reported as vacant, triggering a property blight complaint to the Code Enforcement Section.

The building has experienced multiple fire department responses, including one building fire (with equipment/heat source failure as the ignition cause) and several smoke detector activations, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The property has a history of maintenance improvements, including a complete reroofing in 2010 and significant renovations in 2007 comprising kitchen and bathroom remodeling, stair replacement for code compliance, and siding updates. There were also plumbing and electrical upgrades completed in 2007, including installation of new fixtures and circuits.

More recent activity includes numerous 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to street cleaning and maintenance issues outside the building, though these were resolved through appropriate channels. A 2015 proposal to add family rooms and storage space was cancelled, and older permits from 1998 and 1983 regarding window installation and other work expired without completion. While the building has experienced occasional system malfunctions and maintenance issues, there have been no recorded civilian injuries from any incidents or emergencies associated with the property.
