The property at 423-429 Lombard Street is a two-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, owned by George K. & Nancy N. Chen. Built in 1915, this apartment building has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance activities over the years. Most recently, in 2018, dry rot repairs were completed on the building's side sidings and window sills at a cost of $8,000.

The building has a history of compliance issues, most notably a 2016 violation regarding unauthorized construction on the roof deck, where an illegal 6-foot tall separation was installed on the parapet wall. This violation was eventually addressed with the removal of the illegal structure in late 2016, following similar issues with unauthorized modifications reported in 2006. The building's maintenance record shows attention to structural integrity, including a 2010 sewer line replacement and various repairs to wood posts and safety systems. A complete auto fire sprinkler system was installed in 1992, demonstrating commitment to fire safety. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance issues, with multiple repair and compliance actions taken between 2006 and 2018 to address various violations, including installation of required smoke detectors and gas meter instructions.

Recent complaints from 2023 suggest current concerns with water leaks and driveway access, though these issues are being managed through appropriate channels. The building's history includes routine inspections and several repair projects, demonstrating ongoing maintenance efforts by the owners. While there have been multiple violations and compliance issues over the years, records indicate that most have been properly addressed and resolved. Recent 311 calls from 2024-2022 show minimal emerging issues, primarily relating to water leaks and parking concerns. The building's infrastructure improvements, including plumbing upgrades and safety system installations, suggest regular investment in maintaining the property's structural and safety features.
