Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1263-1267 Lombard Street in Russian Hill, owned by Roger Carroll Handeland Jr, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring in 2012-2013 when major structural and safety upgrades were completed, including installation of anchor bolts, tie downs, shear walls, and repairs to address floor joist dry rot and missing mud sill issues, costing approximately $10,000. The building has maintained its electrical infrastructure with a complete system upgrade in 2009, including a 200-amp main service installation with four meters and sub-panels. Between 2007 and 2011, the property underwent several routine inspections that identified various safety concerns, all of which were addressed and abated by 2011, including fire safety improvements like replacing a double cylinder deadbolt lock, installing handrails at front steps, and providing fire extinguishers. The building has experienced some noise-related issues, particularly in 2015-2016 with multiple reports of amplified sound, and has had minimal maintenance issues including the December 2023 sewer repair work. The property had one smoke detector activation incident recorded, which was unintentional and resulted in no injuries or fire damage. All known violations and complaints have been resolved, with no active issues on record.

Risk rating

How 1263-1267 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 38.0%
Moderate concern 15.6%
Severe concern 46.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
