Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 928-930 Lombard Street in Russian Hill, owned by John Edward Walecka, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1909. The property recently underwent significant renovations in 2019, with major improvements totaling approximately $80,000 including comprehensive remodeling of both units' kitchens, laundry facilities, and electrical systems. The renovations also involved bathroom upgrades, new closets, and the conversion of living spaces into bedrooms and offices on both floors, with plumbing work encompassing updates to 3.5 bathrooms and the installation of new gas lines throughout. The electrical system received substantial upgrades, including a new 200-amp panel installation and complete rewiring of both units. Prior to these improvements, there was one building complaint filed in 2015 regarding water drainage issues affecting the adjacent property.

The building's recent maintenance record has been relatively routine, with several street space permits issued throughout 2019-2024. There have been multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to hazardous materials (glass) on nearby streets and sidewalks, with the most recent occurrences in October 2023 and April 2024. In 2021, there was one noteworthy infrastructure issue involving an internal water leak on private property that was resolved. The property has also experienced some external maintenance matters, including multiple incidents of defaced parking signs in 2021 and a sidewalk blockage caused by privately maintained vegetation, which was addressed through outreach and enforcement.

Risk rating

How 928-930 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
