1671 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1671 Lombard Street in Cow Hollow has undergone significant improvements and renovations since its construction in 1925, with particular attention to seismic safety and unit modernization. Most recently, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019, following a $50,000 project to comply with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements, and was classified as Tier 3 with work completed and Certificate of Final Completion issued. Between 2017 and 2019, there were substantial modifications including the proposed addition of 7 accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in the garage spaces, with associated demolition work and improvements to comply with city ordinances.

Various unit renovations have been completed over the years, particularly in 2014, when multiple units underwent kitchen and bathroom remodels, along with electrical updates. The building has experienced some maintenance issues in the past, including a cluster of violations in 2007 regarding lead paint hazards, window repairs, and fire safety concerns, all of which were subsequently addressed and abated by May 2007. Recent records show ongoing attention to building maintenance and compliance, with a 2022 fire alarm system correction and the successful completion of the soft-story retrofit.

The property has had some infrastructure issues, including a sewage backup in March 2024 that was resolved by PUC Sewer Operations. Current external environment concerns have been documented through 311 calls, particularly regarding encampments and street cleaning, though these issues are municipal rather than property-specific. The building's extensive renovation history demonstrates ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with all major building permits and improvements being properly completed and documented.
