1545 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94123

1545 Lombard Street is a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by the Trust A Yee Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant fire safety improvements in recent years, with the most recent being a $35,011 fire alarm system upgrade completed in October 2023, which included the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet 2023 fire code requirements.

This followed a September 2024 fire complaint related to alarm systems, which was corrected within one month. The building has a documented history of fire safety system issues, with multiple alarm system complaints and violations recorded between 2015 and 2024, including problems with exit maintenance, sprinklers/standpipe systems, and fire extinguishers between 2017-2022, though all these issues were eventually resolved. The property experienced a carbon monoxide incident, several alarm system malfunctions, and a minor fire incident (classified as "other") in its recent history, though none resulted in civilian injuries.

The building underwent a critical fire code violation period in late 2019, receiving multiple citations for emergency lighting, building owner contact posting, exits/fire escapes, and fire extinguisher maintenance, all of which were abated. More recently, the property has faced ongoing challenges with parking enforcement issues in the surrounding area, with numerous illegal parking and driveway blocking incidents reported between 2023 and 2025, though these are external to the building structure itself. The building's fire safety systems appear to be currently up to code, particularly following the 2023 upgrades, though the frequency of fire system-related complaints and corrections over the years suggests this has been an ongoing maintenance focus for the property management.
