Initial analysis

The multi-family residential building at 1956-1958 Lombard Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Shine Family Trust, is a 2-story structure built in 1904 containing 3 units. The property has undergone several significant changes over the past two decades, with the most recent major work occurring in late 2020 involving interior remodeling, new plumbing and electrical systems, and a change in occupancy from a self-service restaurant to office use, with associated permits for selective demolition and improvements totaling approximately $95,000. This work included the installation of new electrical wiring, outlets, lighting, and plumbing fixtures, as well as the construction of a new kitchenette. Prior to this, the building saw various maintenance and compliance work, including gas line installation for a commercial kitchen in 2010, sewer line repairs in 2009, and a reroofing project in 2001 costing $17,921.

The building has experienced several compliance and maintenance issues over the years, including a vacant storefront complaint in 2019, unpermitted construction work in 2011, and an abandoned building report in 2008, all of which have since been resolved. More recent concerns have primarily involved external maintenance matters, with multiple 311 calls between 2021 and 2024 reporting issues such as human waste, general cleaning needs, and a missing sewer vent cover, though many of these cases were marked as resolved. The property underwent significant changes in use classification, with planning records showing attempts to convert dwelling units to commercial use in a C-2 district, and completed work to convert ground floor food service space to professional service use. A carbon monoxide detector was activated in the building, though no actual carbon monoxide was detected, and no civilian injuries were reported in connection with this incident.

Risk rating

How 1956-1958 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
58th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 415 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.

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 75.4%
Moderate concern 13.2%
Severe concern 11.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
