Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 2239 Lombard Street, built in 1924 and currently owned by the Nguyen Revocable Trust, has experienced a notable pattern of parking-related issues over the past year. From November 2023 to April 2024, there were eight recorded incidents of illegal parking, with vehicles blocking driveways or parking improperly. Most cases resulted in officers being unable to locate the vehicles, though one citation was issued in December 2023 and a blue BMW blocking a driveway was successfully addressed in February 2024. The property also has one open report from January 2024 regarding non-offensive graffiti on the building, though this appears to be an isolated incident.

The building's historical records show two significant planning applications related to a proposed conversion of a residential unit to office space on the second story, with the first application being withdrawn and the second being disapproved in 2011. The proposed changes aimed to convert part of the garage and a residential unit to retail and office use while retaining one garage space and one residential unit, though these plans were ultimately not permitted. The property's use as a multi-family residential building has remained consistent since then, as evidenced by its current classification.

Risk rating

How 2239 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
