164-166 Lexington St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 164-166 Lexington St in the Inner Mission is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Thomas J & Eve H Cervantez. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance-related work in recent years, particularly focusing on stair safety and utility connections. In 2016, the building received multiple violations that required attention, including issues with stairs, hazardous mechanical equipment, unapproved wiring and plumbing, lead paint concerns, and fire safety compliance.

The property underwent repairs to address rotted wood in the back stairs in July 2016 and completed plumbing and electrical work related to washer/dryer connections in the basement during the same period. A significant violation from 2016 regarding combustible storage and fire safety was formally abated in February 2017, along with several other housing code violations. Historical maintenance records show recurring attention to stair safety and deck repairs, with work performed in 1999, 2008, and 2016 addressing various structural issues.

The building's utility systems have been periodically updated, as evidenced by the 2017 installation of a dedicated 20-amp circuit for laundry facilities. More recent complaints primarily relate to parking issues and general street cleaning matters, with multiple citations issued for vehicles parking on sidewalks in early 2024. The property has experienced periodic lead paint concerns and combustible material issues, with the most recent lead-related complaint filed in 2019 and a fire complaint from 2011 regarding combustible materials that was corrected upon inspection. The building's maintenance history demonstrates a pattern of addressing age-related structural issues, particularly in exterior stair components, while maintaining compliance with housing code violations through appropriate repairs and system updates.
