1708 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The two-unit residential building at 1708 Lombard Street in the Marina district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1924, currently owned by Joseph Massanti. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, with the most recent major updates including a new 200-amp electrical service installation with underground feed and a three-gang meter socket in 2022, followed by the installation of a new laundry area with updated plumbing (including gas lines) in 2021. The lower unit received substantial renovations in 2016, including bathroom remodeling and electrical updates to meet current codes.

Earlier improvements include a complete window replacement in 2013 (20 windows with energy-efficient fiberglass units), roof work in 2003, and stair repairs in 1994. Two historical permit applications from 1983 (for laundry conversion) and 1989 (for stucco work) were either cancelled or expired. The building's exterior and surrounding area have experienced typical urban maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2024.

Recent concerns include reports of encampments (most recently in November 2024), instances of driveway blocking (resulting in citations), and sidewalk tree root damage reported in June 2022. The property has undergone regular street cleaning and maintenance operations in 2023, with multiple cases of loose garbage being resolved. While these external issues are primarily municipal concerns, they provide context for the building's location in a dynamic urban environment.
