276 Lexington St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 276 Lexington Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Le Paul T Trustee, was constructed in 1962 and has undergone several maintenance and compliance modifications over the years. The most recent significant work includes a water heater replacement completed in February 2024, though there are currently active building violations from January 2024 regarding smoke detection, seismic strapping for the water heater, and heating system compliance.

The building has a documented history of addressing safety concerns, particularly in 2003-2004 when multiple fire safety violations were resolved, including issues with smoke detectors, fire-proofing, egress obstructions, and fire escape maintenance. Previous building improvements include window installations in 1985 and 2006, with the latter project adhering to modern energy efficiency standards. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and safety compliance issues, as evidenced by routine inspections and complaint filings.

Most recently, there was a heating system failure reported in January 2024, which has since been addressed but remains part of the active inspection follow-up. The building has also faced occasional environmental challenges, with multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris in the surrounding area throughout 2022-2024, and instances of graffiti documented in 2022 and 2023. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing building code compliance through routine inspections and corrections, though some current violations indicate ongoing maintenance requirements.
