1651-1655 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 1651-1655 Lombard Street is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1950, containing three units plus ground-floor commercial space, and is currently owned by Ruth Sun. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over its lifetime, with the most recent major work being a reroofing project completed in 2017 at a cost of $10,000, and the installation of a dedicated garage electrical circuit in 2020.

A cluster of violations was recorded in December 2019, including issues with deteriorating wooden stairs, general maintenance problems in the garage, carbon monoxide alarm requirements, and possible rodent infestation, though these were all abated by March 2020. Historical records show various building improvements, including rear stair repairs in 2005 and a garage space conversion to commercial use in 1993. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, as evidenced by multiple citations for blocked driveways between 2022-2024.

Recent 311 calls from 2022 to 2024 primarily address street-level concerns such as graffiti, waste removal, and encampments in the vicinity, though these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's condition. Planning records indicate attempts to convert second-floor residential space to office use and modify parking requirements, with one proposal being approved to allow reduced parking for dwellings while converting garage space to retail use. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing structural elements like roofing and stairs, though some older permits are marked as expired, including a 1999 reroofing permit and a 1994 awning installation.
