Initial analysis

The 457-461 Lombard Street building is a two-story, 4-unit multi-family residential property located in Telegraph Hill, built in 1906 and currently owned by the John Legnitto Bypass Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably in 2021, when comprehensive renovations were undertaken including kitchen remodeling, bathroom upgrades, electrical system enhancements, and the installation of modern amenities such as smoke detectors and a dishwasher, with work continuing into 2022. Earlier structural improvements were necessary following damage to the garage and ceiling beams, with appropriate repairs completed in 2019. The building's infrastructure has been systematically updated over the years, including a complete electrical service upgrade in 2014 with new panels and meters for all units, as well as plumbing improvements including sewer line replacements in 2010 and various other plumbing and electrical work in 2021.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly regarding driveway blockages, with multiple citations issued between 2019 and 2023. While these incidents relate to external parking issues rather than building conditions, they may affect resident access. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including window replacements in 2007 and 1998, water heater replacement in 2009, and various structural and cosmetic improvements. The most recent building modifications demonstrate ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property to modern standards, with particular attention to safety features such as updated electrical systems and smoke detectors.

Risk rating

How 457-461 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
83th percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 116 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.0%
Moderate concern 11.7%
Severe concern 26.3%
