261-263 Lexington St, San Francisco, CA 94110

This two-unit residential building, located at 261-263 Lexington Street in the Inner Mission neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1910, currently owned by Sarah E. Lawton and Domin Chan.

The property has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent work filed in July 2024 involving a $50,000 kitchen remodeling project on the second floor of unit 1. Major renovations were completed between 2012-2013, including the construction of a ground floor great room (455 sf) for aging in place, a voluntary demolition and replacement of non-conforming porch and stair structures, and the upgrade of electrical systems including a 200-amp service upgrade and conversion to a single panel for both units. The building's mechanical systems have also seen substantial improvements, with new ductwork installation in 2014, furnace relocations, and comprehensive plumbing updates including new water service installation in 2016.

The property has experienced some maintenance issues typical of urban environments, as evidenced by multiple recent 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding sidewalk conditions and street cleaning needs, including reports of human waste, loose garbage, and a currently open sidewalk defect case from August 2023. While these external maintenance concerns have been addressed through various street cleaning responses, they represent the primary ongoing issues related to the property's immediate surroundings. The building's interior systems and structure appear to have received consistent attention from the current ownership, with no reported safety violations or significant internal maintenance issues on record.
