Initial analysis

This 13-unit, three-story multi-family residential building in Cow Hollow, constructed in 1925, has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, with particular attention to safety and maintenance. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 (at a cost of $81,000) to enhance seismic safety, and recent structural repairs were carried out in December 2022 following auto damage. The property has maintained active compliance with fire safety regulations, though there have been recurring fire alarm system issues, with the most recent violation issued in March 2023 regarding alarm system maintenance. The building experienced a cluster of violations in late 2012 related to safety systems and building maintenance, including smoke detector installation, fire escape condition, and various interior surface issues, all of which were resolved by June 2013.

More recent concerns have centered around the building's commercial components, particularly the dry cleaning business, which has faced multiple complaints since 2021 regarding improperly installed steam exhaust pipes and plumbing connections, with the most recent active complaint filed in June 2022. The property has also undergone several unit-specific improvements, including a bathroom remodel in Unit 3 (2019) and window replacements in Unit 7 (2013). The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, including sewer line replacement (2015), various unit renovations, and compliance with accessibility requirements. While the building has faced some parking and public space issues as evidenced by 311 calls, these appear to be more related to external urban challenges than to the building's internal conditions.

Risk rating

How 1601-1611 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
