526-530 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 526-530 Lombard Street in North Beach, owned by Jacqueline & Kyle Holm Revo, has a complex history dating back to its 1912 construction. The property has experienced recurring issues with hoarding and fire safety violations, with documented complaints and violations in 2008 and 2016-2017 related to hazardous materials, egress obstructions, and combustible storage. These violations were eventually abated, with the most recent hoarding complaint being resolved in March 2017.

The building underwent several proposed modifications in 2017, including the conversion of a ground floor storage area into an accessory dwelling unit and modifications to the rear facade, though these permits were ultimately cancelled. The property has seen multiple improvements over the years, including a complete electrical upgrade in 2008 with a 400-amp underground service and three 90-amp sub-panels, plumbing work including re-coppering of the building's systems, and various maintenance items such as garage door replacement. Several routine inspections between 1999 and 2006 noted various compliance issues, including the need for fire extinguishers, repairs to wood stairs, and concerns about paint conditions, though these were addressed and closed. Recent records from 2023-2024 show typical urban maintenance issues including tree maintenance needs, graffiti incidents, and parking enforcement matters.

The property underwent significant electrical upgrades in 2008, including kitchen and bathroom remodels for units #526 and #530. The building's historical permit activity includes various proposals for expansion and modification, including a 2017 proposal for a new four-story, two-unit building with basement, though this was ultimately withdrawn. The property has maintained active communication with city agencies regarding necessary updates and improvements, and while there have been multiple violations and complaints over the years, they have generally been addressed and abated through proper channels. The building's infrastructure improvements, such as the 400-amp electrical service installation and plumbing upgrades, suggest ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts by the current ownership.
