433-445 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 433-445 Lombard Street, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by 433 Lombard LLC, has undergone several significant changes and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most recently, in February 2022, a substantial renovation project was filed, focusing on improvements to the exterior facade, waterproofing of the basement, and roof work including the replacement of an exterior roof deck with non-combustible materials, though this permit status remains as "Filed" rather than complete. A notable event occurred in 2017 with the attempted legalization of an unauthorized dwelling unit installation, though the current status of this application is listed as "Under Review" in planning records.

The building has experienced several infrastructure issues, including a recent sewage backup incident reported in November 2024 and multiple sewer-related repairs, including a foundation-to-city connection replacement in 2010. Previous violations and complaints from 2003-2006 revealed various maintenance concerns, including problems with handrails, stairs, floor coverings, and fire safety equipment, though all these violations were officially abated by August 2003. Historical complaints indicate past issues with inadequate heating systems and mold problems in 1999.

The building's external environment has been subject to periodic urban challenges as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding street and sidewalk maintenance, with the most recent such issues appearing in 2022-2024. The property has undergone various maintenance and improvement work over the years, including plumbing repairs, sidewalk improvements, and interior renovation work as documented in multiple building permits. While many of the historical violations have been resolved, the building's recent history shows ongoing maintenance needs, particularly regarding roofing and drainage systems, as well as the unresolved status of the 2017 dwelling unit legalization application. The most recent renovation permits indicate efforts to improve the building's overall condition, though the lack of completion status on these permits raises questions about whether these improvements have been fully undertaken.
