700-710 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 700-710 Lombard Street, constructed in 1907, is a 5-unit structure with ground-floor retail space currently owned by Chee Herbert & Ruby H since 1984. The property has undergone several significant safety and modernization improvements over the past few decades, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in early 2024 at a cost of $29,856 to install modern devices, low-frequency horns in units, and a wireless monitoring system.

In 2015, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit (Tier 2) to improve seismic safety, investing $60,000 to bring the structure into compliance with San Francisco building codes. Other notable historical improvements include aluminum window installation (1987), front wall and side wall dryrot repairs (1997), and accessibility improvements (1998). Currently, there is an active building complaint filed in October 2021 regarding serial blight and hazardous conditions at an adjacent retail space (1700 Lombard) with broken windows and sidewalk issues, though this does not directly pertain to the residential units.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, with multiple citations issued between October 2024 and January 2025 for driveway blocking and sidewalk parking. Recent maintenance challenges have been documented through multiple 311 calls for garbage and debris on the street, including human waste incidences, though these are external to the building itself. A tree maintenance issue was reported in October 2024 and remains unresolved as of the latest records.
