Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 841-845 Lombard Street in Russian Hill, owned by Ho Trust, has a documented history of stair-related maintenance issues spanning several decades. Most recently, a reroofing project was completed in July 2024 at a cost of $12,000. The building experienced significant dryrot repair work on the rear staircase in 2019 ($10,000), which followed a pattern of similar repairs dating back to 2006, when about 15% of the stairway was addressed for $3,000. The building had multiple routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services between 2001 and 2006, during which violations were noted for wood stair repairs and fire extinguisher requirements, all of which were abated by July 2006.

The property has undergone periodic maintenance and infrastructure improvements over the years, including a reroofing project in 2002 (which expired) and various stair repairs. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the general area around the building, most relate to street cleaning, parking issues, and sidewalk concerns rather than building-specific problems. A sewer vent issue was reported and resolved in March 2018, and there have been no active building violations on record since the mid-2000s. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to structural elements, particularly the rear staircase, though more recent improvements such as the 2024 reroofing indicate continued maintenance of the building's overall infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 841-845 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, 419 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Neighborhood location

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 63.1%
Moderate concern 16.9%
Severe concern 20.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
