Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 544-546 Lombard Street in North Beach, built in 2004 and currently owned by Danuta Llc, contains two residential units and has undergone several significant modifications and inspections over the years. Most notably, there was an attempt in 2016 to add a second dwelling unit in the rear building under Ordinance No. 162-15, but this permit was withdrawn. The building was equipped with modern safety features during construction, including a comprehensive fire sprinkler system installed throughout the building at a cost of $10,000 in 2002. A series of routine housing inspections in 2006 revealed several fire safety issues that were promptly addressed by July 2006, including the installation of required fire extinguishers and smoke enclosure door closers. The property has undergone various maintenance and improvement work, including electrical wiring upgrades in 2003 ($4,000), plumbing work including a sewer line replacement in 2011, and several street space permits primarily for sidewalk work between 2002-2011.

The building's history includes three routine housing inspections (1999, 2004, and 2006) that were all resolved satisfactorily, and while there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property's vicinity, these were primarily related to external issues such as parking, noise, and illegal postings rather than building-specific concerns. A tree-related issue affecting sewer infrastructure was reported and resolved in 2011. The building's development history includes several applications for rear yard variances for additional construction projects, though it appears these were either withdrawn or not executed. Both the electrical and plumbing systems have received attention over the years, with documented improvements and replacements ensuring ongoing maintenance of essential services.

Risk rating

How 544-546 Lombard St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
