The 36-unit multi-family residential building at 1299 Lombard Street in Russian Hill, currently owned by Lombard St Holdings Llc, has undergone significant safety upgrades and maintenance work since its 1928 construction. Most notably, between 2024-2025, the building received substantial fire alarm system improvements, including the installation of manual pull stations, smoke detectors, and low-frequency audible alerts, with associated permits totaling over $120,000.

The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water between 2018-2021, though major mechanical upgrades were completed in 2019-2021, including steam boiler and backflow device replacements. The property has a history of fire safety violations that have required attention, including recent sleeping area requirement violations issued in late 2023 and early 2024, as well as past issues with sprinkler systems and alarm systems. Multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris were logged in late 2024, suggesting ongoing waste management concerns.

Historical improvements include the replacement of 133 windows in 2017 and various plumbing upgrades between 2016-2021. The building's violation history from 2014-2015 shows multiple fire safety and maintenance issues that were subsequently resolved, including problems with carbon monoxide detection, fire door closers, and floor coverings. Emergency responses have primarily involved non-injury incidents, such as false alarms, smoke removal, and evacuation assistance, with no recorded civilian injuries.
