2418-2420 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 2418-2420 Lombard Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, containing 3 units plus commercial space, currently owned by Domi Investments LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most recent fire safety violation recorded in January 2024 regarding sleeping area requirements, and multiple past violations related to fire systems including alarms, extinguishers, and sprinkler systems between 2015-2019 - all of which were ultimately corrected.

The building has a documented history of plumbing and water-related problems, with multiple complaints about roof leaks and water damage affecting the restaurant portion between 2012-2013, and sewer issues in 2022, including a significant incident in August 2013 involving a broken sewer and plumbing leak near the restaurant. The property underwent several structural and maintenance works, including the installation of a fire suppression system in 2009 ($4,000) and sewer line/house trap replacement in 2010, though multiple violations in 2004 and complaints related to illegal living units above the restaurant raise concerns about past permit compliance. Recent activity on Lombard Street has included various street maintenance and public safety issues, with 311 calls in 2022-2024 regarding utility excavation, sidewalk defects, flooding, and general cleaning needs, including some cases involving blocked sidewalks and construction materials.

The building experienced five fire incidents between 2015-2019, mostly related to system malfunctions and false alarms, with no civilian injuries reported. The property's maintenance record shows a mixture of resolved and recurring issues, with some improvements made over time, though the recent 2024 fire violation suggests that not all safety requirements are currently being met. The building's permit history shows several street space and sidewalk permits from 2009-2010, and a notable plumbing permit for sewer work, indicating some level of infrastructure maintenance has occurred.
