Initial analysis

1785 Lombard Street is a three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Cow Hollow neighborhood, built in 1907 and currently owned by Matthias A. Bunge and Hele Woo. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced some challenges over its history. Most recently, in May 2023, the building was upgraded to meet mandatory disability access entrance requirements, with the installation of new ADA hand railing at the front. The building has a documented history of roofing issues, including a reroofing project completed in 1999 and the removal of illegal fiberglass roofing from the rear in 1997.

In July 2011, the building faced multiple violation notices related to interior paint conditions, including concerns about lead-based paint hazards. These violations, which required walls to be repainted and damaged paint to be properly addressed, were officially abated by August 29, 2011. Earlier issues included a complaint about illegal construction in 1996, which was resolved in 2009. More recently, from December 2024 to January 2025, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property, with ten separate incidents requiring intervention from various city agencies, though most were resolved promptly. The building appears to be currently in compliance with major safety and accessibility requirements, with no active violations on record.

Risk rating

How 1785 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.
