Initial analysis

2240 Lombard Street is a 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Cecilia Kwan Trust and located in the Marina neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant safety and accessibility improvements in recent years, including multiple upgrades to the fire alarm system between 2022-2023, installation of automatic door operators for accessibility compliance in 2018, and the complete removal of a general advertising sign in 2019 which required various restoration work. The building has faced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple violations and complaints from 2022-2024 regarding blocked exits, electrical systems, fire extinguishers, sprinkler maintenance, and hazardous materials, most recently in October 2024. The property has completed its soft-story retrofit requirements as a Tier 4 building, achieving CFC certification.

Recent maintenance and safety concerns have included several fire safety violations requiring correction in 2023-2024 related to sprinklers, extinguishers, and electrical systems, though many of these have been marked as "Condition Corrected" or "Abated." The most recent building complaints have involved environmental health and safety inspections in late 2023, including reports of graffiti and various infrastructure issues such as flooding and tree root damage to sidewalks. Historical records show past violations in the early 2000s related to fire safety and egress obstructions, though these were resolved by 2007. The building has undergone routine safety inspections in 2012 and 2013, and has maintained active compliance with most recent fire safety requirements through ongoing corrections and improvements, though some violations remain under review or require hearings as of late 2023/early 2024.

Risk rating

How 2240 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
34th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 652 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 39.2%
Moderate concern 28.7%
Severe concern 32.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
