Initial analysis

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.

Risk rating

How 2386-2390 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

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 711 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 44.0%
Moderate concern 30.2%
Severe concern 25.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
