353-357 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 353-355 Lombard Street in Telegraph Hill is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1913, currently owned by the Donald H Jans Living Trust. The most significant recent development is an approved ambitious project from August 2019 (BP# 201908169021) involving the alteration and expansion of an existing two-car garage into a three-story plus basement structure, adding three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a kitchen, and a roof deck for an estimated cost of $830,000. This project has undergone various planning reviews and approvals, including a CEQA clearance and variance for exposure requirements.

The building has seen numerous maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including window replacements in 2018 (PM# 20180221723), heating system upgrades, and several stair repairs in 1998-1999 addressing dry rot issues. There were also two sewer backup incidents reported in 2016, which were resolved. A complaint was filed in 2001 regarding unpermitted rear stair construction, though this issue was quickly abated.

Recent municipal service calls around the property have been relatively minor, including reports of garbage, a damaged tree (resolved in 2023), and some parking issues, none of which appear to indicate significant building concerns. The property has maintained compliance with most regulations, though there have been several expired permits from the late 1990s and 2000s related to various repairs and improvements. The most recent major construction project represents the largest investment in the property's infrastructure and amenities in recent years, suggesting active property management and ongoing investment in the building's maintenance and improvement.
