Augrented Insights Report

The two-unit residential building at 52-54 Kissling Street, owned by the Donald J Lawson Revocable Trust, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906 in the South of Market neighborhood. The property has a history of maintenance issues, most notably a recent cluster of violations filed in August 2023 regarding deteriorating exterior conditions, including problems with pipes and peeling paint creating potential lead hazards. These violations remain active, with final warning letters issued in July 2024.

Additional repair work is currently underway, with permits issued in June 2024 for multiple projects including dry rot repairs near the garage door, front stairs, and back stairs post, as well as window replacements. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing structural and safety concerns, including past termite repairs (1994), foundation replacement (1992), and roofing work (1996). The property has experienced several fire safety inspections and violations, particularly in 2022, related to blocked exits, combustible materials, and alarm systems, though these conditions have been marked as corrected.

Fire incident records indicate no significant civilian injuries, with most incidents being false alarms or system malfunctions. Recent activity around the building includes multiple 311 calls regarding street conditions and sidewalk cleaning, with several cases in 2024 being resolved through city services. The building's age and maintenance record suggest a continuing need for attention to both structural and safety systems, particularly regarding the existing violations related to paint and plumbing conditions.
