1071-1073 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The two-unit residential building at 1071-1073 Lombard Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Kimball Meister Trust, is a well-maintained 1907 flats and duplex structure that has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, in December 2023, both units received modern HVAC upgrades with the installation of electric heat pump systems and 220V disconnect switches, replacing the existing gas furnaces.

The building has seen substantial infrastructure updates, including a comprehensive renovation in 2018 costing $60,000 that addressed multiple issues such as shingle replacement, dry rot repairs, and the relocation of plumbing and electrical systems from exterior to interior walls. This was part of a broader effort to modernize the building, including a 2017 house trap replacement and a 2018 repiping project (though this permit expired). Historical maintenance records show consistent upkeep of key building systems, including earlier roofing work in 2010 (over $15,000 in repairs) and deck repairs in 2009.

The property has experienced some localized issues, including a sewage backup in December 2014 that was promptly resolved, and two instances of flickering streetlights in early 2021 that were addressed by PG&E. The building's street space usage has been minimal and consistent, with multiple permits for street space use between 2018-2019, all valued at minimal amounts. The most recent activities show a focus on modernization and infrastructure improvements, with no reported safety or habitability concerns in recent years.
