853-855 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 853-855 Lombard Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. Built in 1925 and currently owned by Coleman Family 1995 Revocable Living Trust, the building has undergone significant modifications and improvements over the past decade. Most notably, in 2015-2016, major renovations were completed to convert the property from two units to three, including seismic strengthening work, bathroom relocations, and the addition of an exit corridor at the garage level.

This conversion also involved comprehensive improvements to safety systems, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system on the first floor, which followed the completion of kitchen remodeling projects on the second floor. The building has been the subject of several permit-related complaints, particularly during late 2016, when neighbors reported concerns about expired permits and unauthorized work hours, including noise and sanitation issues related to construction activities. These complaints were formally documented but are no longer active.

Most recent records indicate infrastructure improvements in 2024, including a complete replacement of the sewer main line and house trap, suggesting continued maintenance of essential systems. The property's documented improvements include extensive electrical and plumbing upgrades, with recent permits showing work on multiple bathrooms and kitchens, window replacements, and various modernizations to meet current safety and functionality standards. The building's recent history shows active maintenance and upgrading of critical systems, though there have been occasional issues with parking and noise, as evidenced by recent 311 calls.
