18-20 Lucky St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 18-20 Lucky Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Elvia Sanchez, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908. The most significant event in recent years was a fire incident in June 2019 that damaged the rear of the building, rendering the secondary means of egress unusable and leading to building violations under multiple code sections (106.1.1, 106.4.7, 106.4.4, 102.1).

This incident prompted several repair projects, including a $6,800 contract for repairs to address fire damage, including siding, stairs, and window replacement, followed by a $7,000 project to replace a damaged exterior stairway at the rear side of the building to restore the second means of egress, both of which were successfully completed. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance issues and environmental challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls. Recent incidents include graffiti removal in 2024, sidewalk parking enforcement in 2022, and a medical waste incident in 2020.

Historical records show earlier concerns in 2009-2010 related to street cleaning and loose garbage. While many of these issues have been addressed promptly, the most critical concern remains the 2019 fire incident and its remediation, which required multiple construction permits to resolve. The property has generally maintained compliance with building codes following the fire repairs, and there are no active building violations currently on record.
