881-883 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 881-883 Lombard Street is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. Built in 1926 and currently owned by the Benjamin D Gardner Trust, this flats & duplex-style building has undergone significant improvements over recent years. Between 2016 and 2018, the property experienced substantial renovations including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system upgrades to 200 amperes with new sub-panels, plumbing system improvements, and the addition of a roof deck.

Notable completed projects during this period included kitchen and bathroom renovations ($75,000), new electrical installations for common areas, and the construction of a new roof deck ($25,000), as well as various plumbing upgrades for bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry facilities. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, though there was one cancelled permit for reroofing in 2017. Recent exterior maintenance issues have been documented, including a sidewalk defect due to tree roots (reported June 2024) and some parking-related incidents affecting access to the property.

The most recent building-related incidents include a garbage removal request from 2024 and a parking enforcement case in 2023, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The property has undergone careful compliance with building regulations, with planning records confirming the legality of improvements including a new half-bath on the ground floor and the roof deck installation, with specific attention to height and setback requirements. The extensive renovation work completed between 2016-2018 suggests significant investment in improving the building's amenities and infrastructure, with proper permits obtained and completed across multiple trades including electrical, plumbing, and general construction. The building's maintenance records indicate ongoing attention to property upkeep, though recent years have shown more focus on external issues such as parking and sidewalk concerns rather than major interior improvements.
