Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 874-878 Lombard Street in Russian Hill, owned by Golden Family Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1913. The most recent major addition, filed in February 2021, is a 500-square-foot private roof deck over the third-floor unit, featuring new guardrails and outdoor cabinetry with sink facilities. In 2014, the front building underwent substantial interior renovations costing $180,000, including structural upgrades, plumbing and electrical work, with provisions for future sprinkler and alarm systems. This renovation period also saw comprehensive updates to individual units involving kitchen and bathroom remodels, new subpanels, and lighting improvements, along with the replacement of water heaters across multiple units.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including multiple street space permits between 2014 and 2019. Infrastructure improvements include several plumbing upgrades, particularly in 2015, when multiple units received new water heaters, and electrical system enhancements. The property has maintained compliance with routine housing inspections conducted in 2001, 2004, and 2006, with no active violations on record. Recent 311 calls primarily pertain to street-related issues rather than building-specific concerns, including requests for service regarding illegal postings, tree maintenance, and street cleaning matters. The roof deck addition received proper planning approval, noting specific restrictions on privacy screens and confirming its compliance with buildable area and height limits.

Risk rating

How 874-878 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

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 748 are predicted to be safer.
