975-977 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The two-unit residential building at 975-977 Lombard Street in Russian Hill, constructed in 1907, is currently under ownership of the Funke Emily Trust. The most recent significant modification to the property, occurring in September 2023, involves upgrading the basement access by replacing an existing window with a door on the building's right side, a change valued at $2,800.

The building underwent substantial improvements in 2007, including kitchen renovations in both units with new cabinets and countertops, electrical upgrades (including receptacle replacements and new exhaust fans), and a complete reroofing project, all totaling over $27,000. A notable incident in the building's history occurred in 2005 when there were dry rot issues with the rear stairs that led to building code violations and life safety concerns due to removal of the rear stairwell without proper permits; these violations were eventually resolved by April 2008 through appropriate repair work valued at $15,000. The property has experienced regular maintenance and infrastructure work over the years, including multiple sidewalk and street space repairs between 2006-2007.

Recent external issues reported via 311 calls primarily involve general street cleanliness concerns and occasional hazardous material reports, though these are typical for urban environments and appear to be promptly addressed. There is currently an open tree-related issue from 2022 regarding sidewalk damage caused by tree roots, and a 2019 incident involving a fallen tree was transferred for resolution. The building's recent history suggests active maintenance of major systems, with the most recent permit focusing on basement access improvements, while the 2005 violations appear to have been an isolated incident rather than part of a recurring pattern.
