Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1050 Lombard Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, built in 1910, is a flats and duplex-style structure currently owned by the Jaye Meri Trust. The property is undergoing significant maintenance work, with a window replacement project completed in January 2024 involving five street-visible windows (three on Lombard, one on the north side, and one on the south side) at a cost of $15,000, and a reroofing project scheduled for October 2024 costing $17,000. These recent improvements suggest proactive property maintenance by the current ownership. The building's historical maintenance record shows a previous roof renovation completed in 1991.

The property has experienced various service-related incidents in the past few years, including multiple reports of graffiti (most recently in March 2023), and three separate reports of abandoned vehicles between 2021-2022, though none of these incidents had any impact on the building's safety or resident experience. There were also two false fire alarms recorded, neither resulting in injuries. Recent administrative matters include a Public Utilities Commission billing inquiry in December 2024 and a building inspection request in January 2024, both of which were resolved. The building's permit history is minimal, with only one street space permit recorded in 2008, suggesting relatively limited impact on the surrounding neighborhood from construction activities.

Risk rating

How 1050 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
