160 Lexington St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 160 Lexington Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Gal A. Cohen, is a one-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906. The building has undergone several significant modifications over the past few decades, with the most recent major work occurring between 2012-2022. In 2012, substantial renovations were carried out including wall removal and foundation work on the lower floor, along with kitchen remodeling and electrical upgrades.

A notable safety improvement was completed in 1996 when damaged and unsafe stair landings were replaced, though several permits from the 1990s and early 2000s, including bathroom repairs and a kitchen removal project, either expired or required renewal. The electrical systems have seen recent attention, with new wiring work completed in March 2022 for wall receptacles and lighting. The property has experienced various maintenance and safety issues in recent years, primarily related to external concerns. Since 2024, there have been multiple reports of parking violations in the vicinity, including vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, though enforcement officers were frequently unable to locate the offending vehicles.

There are also records of graffiti and garbage issues near the property, with one graffiti case still open as of June 2024. A fire service call was recorded, but it resulted in no injuries and was classified as a general service matter with no concerning implications. While these external issues don't directly impact the building's interior conditions, they do reflect some ongoing challenges in the immediate neighborhood. The building's history shows a pattern of regular maintenance and upgrading over the years, with particular focus on structural safety and modern amenities, though some historical permits indicate past concerns that appear to have been addressed.
