Initial analysis

The four-unit multi-family residential building at 1976 Lombard Street in the Marina district, owned by John & Caterina Frederick R, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1910. Most recently, in October 2024, the property received a substantial upgrade with the installation of eight new vinyl windows and fiber cement siding on the rear wall, costing approximately $26,540. The building has also seen major infrastructure improvements, including a complete sewer line and house trap replacement in 2017, and a boiler replacement in 2010.

The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2010 when multiple building violations were recorded, including inadequate heating, electrical problems, and interior surface damage, all of which were resolved by June 29, 2010. A similar pattern of moisture-related issues was reported in 2013, with complaints about mold on windows and hallway leaks. More recently, the building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with violations recorded in 2019, 2022, and 2024, including issues with blocked exits, overcrowding, and multiple fire code violations. The building's historical records show regular maintenance interventions, with the most recent fire code violation being issued and recorded as of November 27, 2024. Recent 311 calls from the surrounding area primarily relate to external issues such as graffiti, illegal parking, and street cleaning concerns, rather than internal building problems, suggesting improved property condition in recent years, though the most recent open graffiti case from November 2023 indicates some ongoing exterior maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 1976 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
61th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 385 are predicted to be safer.
