2347-2353 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94123

Located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood, the 24-unit apartment building at 2347-2353 Lombard Street was constructed in 2016 as a mixed-use development by Vela Properties LLC, incorporating both residential and commercial spaces. The four-story building's construction was accompanied by comprehensive safety systems, including a building-wide fire sprinkler system, though several fire safety concerns have emerged over the years.

Notably, there are two open fire violations from January 2024 regarding sleeping area requirements, and a history of issues with alarm systems and sprinklers between 2016 and 2023, most of which were eventually corrected. The building experienced significant heat transfer issues in 2018, with multiple complaints about unsuitable heat from the commercial space affecting residential unit #203, particularly concerning children's welfare. The property has undergone various improvements and commercial adaptations since its completion, including the conversion of 2,435 square feet of retail space into a yoga studio (CorePower Yoga) in 2017, which involved extensive tenant improvements and fire safety modifications.

Multiple building permits document ongoing maintenance and system updates, including HVAC installations, plumbing modifications, and electrical work, with the most recent being related to moving permits and street space usage. The building's maintenance history shows regular response to 311 calls regarding typical urban issues such as waste removal, graffiti, and parking enforcement, with the most recent incidents occurring between 2022 and 2024. While the building generally maintains compliance with safety regulations, the recurring nature of fire safety concerns suggests ongoing attention to life safety systems is required.
