Initial analysis

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.

Risk rating

How 700-710 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
40th percentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 217 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.

Number of units

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

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 49.4%
Moderate concern 14.8%
Severe concern 35.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
