Initial analysis

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 548-554 Lombard Street in North Beach was constructed in 1992, with its development history showing significant activity in 1986-1990 when various structural elements including foundation, walls, staircase, and sprinkler systems were addressed during construction. The most recent major maintenance work was completed in 2021 with a $9,000 reroofing project involving an overlay application on the existing roof. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2016-2017 when multiple violations were documented, including water heater issues, faucet and light malfunctions, door hardware problems, missing doors, window screen repairs, pest control needs, and fire safety inspections. These violations were all officially abated by December 2017.

More recent incidents include a sewage backup in May 2021, reports of graffiti in 2018, and various parking enforcement issues in the vicinity between 2020-2024. The property underwent routine housing inspections in 1999, 2004, and 2007, demonstrating regular oversight by housing authorities. There were three proposed revisions to expand the building with additional dwelling units and parking spaces over the years, though these proposals were either withdrawn or ultimately not pursued under the names of different developers. Current maintenance records show no active violations or complaints, though the building has experienced periodic issues with parking enforcement, including reported instances of driveway blocking and sidewalk parking violations in recent years.

Risk rating

How 548-554 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.

Neighborhood percentile
22th percentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 282 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 26.8%
Moderate concern 47.3%
Severe concern 25.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
