Initial analysis

The 4-story multi-family residential building at 1626-1628 Lombard Street, owned by the Vaynberg-Zeltser Family Trust, consists of 7 units and was constructed in 1990. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including comprehensive window replacements in 2010 (with two separate projects totaling 47 windows and sliding doors), vinyl siding installation, and a complete reroofing in 2005. More recently, the elevator system received attention with a breaker replacement in 2015, and two street space permits were issued in 2012.

The building has faced various regulatory challenges, particularly concerning fire safety and egress requirements. Multiple violations were recorded between 2003 and 2017 regarding fire escape maintenance, egress obstructions, and fire extinguisher requirements, though all were subsequently abated. More recent concerns include a 2023 active complaint regarding a vacant commercial space, and several 311 calls in late 2023 to 2024 related to garbage and waste on the property. Planning records indicate the property has had permitted uses such as a fortune-teller business, and there have been historical issues with advertising signage compliance. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both residential and commercial components, with recent 311 calls primarily focusing on external maintenance matters rather than internal building conditions.

Risk rating

How 1626-1628 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
28th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 711 are predicted to be safer.
