1818-1820 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 1818-1820 Lombard Street is a three-story multi-family residential building, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Ryan C. Chang and Jeannie Tsai. Originally containing four units, the building underwent significant renovation work in 2010-2011, which included the installation of comprehensive fire safety systems (51 sprinkler heads), electrical upgrades, and the addition of two new residential units with complete bathroom and kitchen facilities.

The renovation scope also covered plumbing installations for multiple bathrooms and kitchens, as well as extensive electrical work including lighting, power installations, and safety features such as smoke detectors. More recent history shows various maintenance and safety improvements, including a cancelled 2016 permit for additional modifications to the office and residential units, roof deck work, and garage renovations. The building has experienced some urban challenges in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding street cleanliness issues (particularly regarding human or animal waste) throughout 2023, along with some recent encampment reports in 2024.

Historical records show a few compliance and safety-related inspections, including a 2005 complaint about unpermitted bathroom and kitchen remodeling, though this appears to have been addressed promptly. A 2019 complaint regarding construction noise from a nearby Shell station was recorded but is no longer active. The most recent building and fire safety improvements, including fire sprinkler installations and electrical system upgrades, were completed in 2009-2010, suggesting the building meets current safety standards, though the age of these improvements should be noted.
