1016-1018 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The two-unit residential building at 1016-1018 Lombard Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1912, has undergone several significant renovations and faced recurring sewer issues in recent years. A substantial renovation in 2010 involved structural work to address dryrotted framing in the entry porch and other areas, including a $27,000 reconstruction project, along with comprehensive plumbing upgrades installing two bathrooms, a kitchen, and washer/dryer facilities, plus electrical improvements with new sub-panels and rewiring on both floors.

More recent concerns include four documented sewer back-up incidents between 2022 and 2024, with the most recent occurring in June 2024 from a side sewer vent, indicating an ongoing infrastructure challenge. The property underwent a tenant buyout in August 2020 involving two tenants and a payment of $20,000.

Additional modifications were permitted in 2009 to remove the requirement for acoustic insulation between residential units, and variances were approved for parking and rear yard modifications related to egress construction. Recent maintenance issues have also included general sidewalk cleaning and scooter parking concerns, though these are not directly related to the building's residential systems.
