1210-1212 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1210-1212 Lombard Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1900, has undergone significant recent improvements focused on safety and sustainability. The property has seen substantial fire safety upgrades, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system (NFPA-13R) completed in 2022, with subsequent modifications in 2023 to accommodate new battery storage requirements. The building has also received significant energy infrastructure improvements, including the installation of two separate 46.4 kWh energy storage systems in 2022 (total cost $129,000), solar panel installations, and a new sprinkler monitoring system with tenant notifications.

Recent plumbing work has included comprehensive updates to both units, fireplace installations, and heating system improvements, while electrical upgrades have focused on modernizing systems and adding new features such as a Tesla charger with associated safety equipment. The building's permit history indicates a major renovation project was undertaken in 2020-2022, involving raising the structure, adding a garage, and making various improvements consistent with modern building codes and safety requirements. There was a period of construction in late 2020 that generated multiple noise complaints regarding construction equipment exceeding allowable noise levels, though these complaints were subsequently closed.

The property has maintained compliance with various building codes through regular permit updates and inspections, including fire safety requirements and plumbing system improvements. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property and surrounding area, these have primarily related to urban infrastructure issues (e.g. pavement defects, encampments, sewer problems) rather than building-specific concerns, and most have been resolved promptly.
