2386-2390 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2386-2390 Lombard Street, owned by RJL Investments, contains 6 units and was constructed in 1927. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably completing both residential and commercial soft-story retrofits in 2018 (though it is currently listed as non-compliant under Tier 4). In 2019, the building participated in the Accessible Business Entrance Program, with modifications to improve accessibility at the commercial tenant spaces.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in the 1990s when multiple complaints were filed regarding roof leaks and water damage affecting multiple units, along with concerns about maintenance and fire escape access. These historical issues appear to have been resolved, as there have been no recent complaints regarding these particular concerns. Recent infrastructure improvements include the installation of an omni directional antenna for emergency services in 2013, electrical panel upgrades in 2014, and various plumbing repairs in 2008.

The building has maintained active compliance with routine inspections of housing standards, with the most recent violations appearing to be addressed promptly. While the building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety requirements, there have been some recent fire alarm system activations (though none resulted in injuries), and a notable pattern of building-related service calls during 2024, primarily related to external conditions such as sidewalk cleaning and encampment management in the vicinity. The property's current challenges seem to revolve more around external area maintenance and compliance with modern safety requirements rather than internal building systems or structural issues, though the soft-story compliance status remains a significant regulatory consideration.
