583 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 583 Lombard Street in North Beach is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1911, currently owned by James & Virginia Cheng since 2014. The building's maintenance record includes a complete reroofing project in 2009 costing $13,000. In 2007, the property underwent a routine housing inspection that identified multiple safety and security issues, including the need for battery-operated smoke detectors at stairways, proper apartment identification numbers, security peepholes, and gas utility shutoff tools; however, all these violations were promptly abated within one month.

Earlier routine inspections in 1999 and 2004 had no significant findings, and a 2002 complaint about a potential change of use to an adult-oriented business was resolved with no further action. The area around 583 Lombard Street has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of incidents occurring in 2024. These include multiple reports of garbage and debris, with four incidents of overflowing city garbage cans and one instance involving liquid spills and human waste, all of which were resolved.

Infrastructure maintenance issues include two cases of defaced parking signs in 2023 and a graffiti incident on a fire hydrant that was resolved. A tree maintenance issue was recently reported in December 2024. Planning records show various applications and referrals, including one that was disapproved for not being permitted under Section 209.4(b), but another DPW referral was approved for ExteNet. While the building has had its share of routine inspections and minor violations, recent years have shown more external maintenance challenges in the immediate neighborhood rather than building-specific issues.
