39-41 Lapidge St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 39-41 Lapidge Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Kok Fay Szeto Bypass Trust, was constructed in 1907 and has experienced several notable events over the past few decades. In 2017, there was a significant incident involving improper lead paint removal work, where paint chips were reportedly dispersed into an adjacent light well, though this issue was resolved by September 2017.

The building has undergone routine housing inspections, including one in 2006 that identified issues with wood stairs requiring repair, and a 1990 permit application was filed to convert storage space to a garage, though this permit ultimately expired. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing various building-related concerns, with multiple violations noted in 2017 regarding containment systems, weather proofing on siding, and clean-up standards, among others, all of which were subsequently abated.

The surrounding area has experienced typical urban challenges, as evidenced by 311 calls between 2014 and 2024 reporting issues such as graffiti, street cleaning needs, and encampments, though these are more reflective of the neighborhood environment rather than specific building issues. Recent calls in 2024 and 2019 indicate ongoing attention to street maintenance and public cleanliness in the vicinity.
