AI summary

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 875 Lombard Street in Russian Hill, owned by Woo Marital Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1968. Most recently, in September 2024, the property received a substantial window upgrade, with the installation of 16 fiberglass windows and a patio door featuring an impressive U-factor of 0.3, representing a $32,000 investment in energy efficiency. Earlier in 2024, the property underwent an administrative verification process to confirm its use as a two-dwelling unit building. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to upgrades and repairs, including a bathroom modernization in 2018 that involved replacing an existing tub with a walk-in tub and associated electrical work, and the replacement of a gas water heater in 2010.

The property has experienced typical residential issues over the years, with the most recent concerns noted in mid-2024 involving tree maintenance, including lifted sidewalk issues and an overgrown tree near communication lines, though one of these cases has been resolved. Historical improvements include a second-floor remodeling project in 1984 and reroofing work in 1995, indicating the property's regular maintenance schedule. External incidents have been minor and generally unrelated to building conditions, including occasional parking issues and streetlight concerns in the vicinity, all of which have been resolved through proper channels. The building's recent improvements, particularly the comprehensive window replacement and bathroom modernization, suggest ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property for current standards.

Risk rating

How 875 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

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 770 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 28.2%
Moderate concern 12.2%
Severe concern 59.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
