445 Lawton St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 445 Lawton Street in the Inner Sunset, built in 1914, has a limited but notable maintenance and incident history. The only significant structural work on record was completed in 1990 when bolts and shearing walls were installed in the basement, and the building underwent siding replacement in 1985 when hemlock siding was removed. A routine housing inspection conducted in 2002 showed no outstanding issues.

The property has been the subject of several municipal service calls in recent years, particularly between 2022-2024. There are ongoing concerns with tree-related issues, including reports of damaging property in January 2023 and October 2023 due to lifted sidewalk tree roots, an overgrown tree blocking street lights (September 2024), and sidewalk defects. Parking enforcement has been frequently required, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations resulting in citations, though officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles in some cases.

The sidewalk infrastructure has raised concerns, with open cases for a collapsed sidewalk (July 2023) and tree root damage (January 2023). Other incidents include an abandoned vehicle report in July 2024, which was resolved with the vehicle gone upon officer arrival, and a potentially invalid encampment report from July 2022 that required police intervention. While the building's structural maintenance record shows basic upkeep, the surrounding infrastructure and public space management appear to require ongoing attention, particularly regarding tree maintenance and parking enforcement.
