Initial analysis

The property at 2034-2036 Lombard Street is a two-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Bernard James J & Rayna G. The building has undergone significant commercial transformations since 2018, when a major tenant improvement of $150,000 converted the space from an existing restaurant to a new restaurant with various interior modifications. This renovation included bar equipment, lighting fixtures, and plumbing updates, and was followed by multiple fire safety system upgrades, including sprinkler system modifications and kitchen fire protection improvements through 2019. The building's commercial space has recently been granted combined Place of Entertainment and Mechanical Amusement Device permits, establishing a dual-use function that requires ongoing monitoring of safety and compliance regulations.

The property has experienced some safety-related issues in its history, particularly concerning fire safety equipment compliance in 2016, when violations were noted regarding the sprinkler system service, alarm system maintenance, and documentation requirements - though these were subsequently closed. Earlier fire complaints from 2009 and 2011 regarding unspecified issues and blocked exits were also resolved. Several 311 calls in 2023-2024 indicate ongoing municipal service needs around the property, including garbage overflow issues and illegal parking concerns. A notable building complaint from 2002 involved unauthorized installation of a cellular antenna, which was resolved promptly. The property's commercial history suggests active usage as a restaurant and entertainment venue, with regular updates to maintain compliance with city regulations, particularly regarding fire safety systems and entertainment licensing requirements. Recent building permits and modifications indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, though prospective tenants should be aware of the property's mixed-use nature and associated commercial activities.

Risk rating

How 2034-2036 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
57th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 425 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.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.3%
Moderate concern 15.3%
Severe concern 6.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
