Initial analysis

The Yee Family Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 680-682 Lombard Street in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood. Built in 1925, this flats and duplex structure has undergone minimal permitted improvements, with records showing a kitchen remodel in 2002 costing $6,800 and a street space permit in 2009. The property has experienced a concerning pattern of maintenance and safety-related incidents in recent years, particularly during 2023-2024, with multiple reports of garbage and debris (including human waste) on or near the property, totaling at least six documented instances. The building's outdoor environment has faced challenges such as graffiti (reported in August 2023, remains open) and a damaged tree issue (opened March 2023, still in progress).

The building has a documented history of false alarms and system malfunctions related to its safety equipment, including several instances of alarm system malfunctions, smoke detector activations, CO detector activations, and a false alarm - all of which fortunately resulted in no civilian injuries. A notable incident involved the removal of individuals from a stalled elevator. On the positive side, there is a recorded variance approval related to building height, though the details of this approval are not specified in the available records. Recent calls to city services have primarily focused on street cleaning and maintenance issues rather than internal building problems, suggesting the primary concerns lie with the building's surroundings rather than its structural integrity or internal systems.

Risk rating

How 680-682 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
96th percentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 14 are predicted to be safer.
