Initial analysis

The Presidio Gate Apartments at 2770 Lombard Street is a 53-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, currently undergoing significant infrastructure improvements. Most notably, in November 2024, permits were issued for an upgrade to the fire alarm system to comply with current safety standards, including the installation of both automatic and manual systems, as well as repairs to stairs. The building has experienced several safety and maintenance issues in recent years, with an active complaint as of September 2024 regarding bathroom and sink problems, and a reported mold issue in July 2022. Fire safety has been a recurring concern, with violations noted in 2024 and 2023 for sprinkler systems and sleeping area requirements, though many past fire-related complaints have been marked as "No Merit" or "Condition Corrected."

Significant recent improvements include a major exterior renovation project initiated in December 2019, valued at $250,000, encompassing concrete paving replacement, landscaping, and lighting improvements. This followed prior chimney reconstruction work completed in September 2019 due to structural concerns. The building's systems have also been updated, including the replacement of hydronic boilers and water storage equipment in 2017. Historical preservation efforts have been undertaken, including the restoration of exterior ornamentation in 2019. While many building violations from 2007-2011 were addressed and abated, some recent maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges, including a 2019 complaint about flooding and mold in a bedroom, and a 2024 complaint about bathroom plumbing issues. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing both routine and urgent repair needs, with various infrastructure upgrades and emergency response actions documented over the years.

Risk rating

How 2770 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

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 844 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 31.7%
Moderate concern 62.1%
Severe concern 6.3%
