Initial analysis

The building at 2594 Lombard Street in the Marina neighborhood is a 2-story multi-family residential property constructed in 1906, currently owned by the Detjen Children 2010 Trust, containing 3 units. The property has experienced several significant events in recent months. Most notably, there are active violations filed in 2023 regarding unpermitted construction work, including new lighting, plumbing, a water heater, and bathroom remodeling, as well as unauthorized reconfiguration of front entry and rear doors. Two Notices of Violation were issued in August 2023, with a subsequent final warning letter in October 2023, and an upcoming director's hearing scheduled for February 2025. Building permits filed in September 2023 and August 2023 appear to be related to addressing these violations, including tenant improvements and drywall replacement.

The property has a history of building complaints and violations. In 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding construction activities, including unauthorized work in a basement store space and an upstairs flat. A wall sign violation from 2005, related to an oversized sign exceeding permitted dimensions, was eventually resolved in 2010. The building's recent activity suggests ongoing compliance issues, particularly regarding unpermitted construction work. The property has experienced multiple fire-related incidents, though all were either false alarms or service calls with no civilian injuries reported. While the building itself has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues, the surrounding area has seen multiple reporting of street cleaning needs and traffic signal concerns, particularly in 2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 2594-2598 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
35th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 642 are predicted to be safer.

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Director's hearing rate, owner's portfolio
