Initial analysis

The property at 547-549 Lombard Street in North Beach is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1913. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the past few decades, including a deck repair and kitchen cabinet replacement in 2016 ($4,500), the installation of new wall furnaces in 2022, and a sewer repair with house trap replacement in 2021. A notable period of unauthorized modifications occurred in 2000 when a third unit with a guest room and bathroom was constructed without permits, leading to a building violation that was eventually resolved in 2001 after legalization efforts costing $15,000. The building has experienced various maintenance issues over its history, including dry rot repairs in 1994, multiple roof-related permits in 1997, and foundation work in 1994, though these older permits have expired.

Recent activity around the building has primarily involved street-related issues, with multiple parking enforcement calls and sidewalk cleaning requests in 2023-2024. Of particular note, the property experienced a sewage backup incident in April 2021 that was resolved by the PUC Sewer Operations. The building's most recent significant infrastructure upgrades include the replacement of wall furnaces in 2022 and a sewer system repair in 2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance of essential systems. While the property has had several building code violations and complaints over the years regarding unpermitted modifications, most have been addressed, and recent maintenance work indicates regular upkeep. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues such as parking violations and street cleaning needs, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 547-549 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.
