Initial analysis

The property at 2495 Lombard Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building with a ground-level retail space, built in 1978 in the Cow Hollow neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant changes and maintenance actions over the years, with the most recent major event being the voluntary removal of a general advertising sign by Clear Channel Outdoor in March 2021, which cost $3,000. The building's maintenance history includes roof work in 1996, wood retaining wall replacement in 1988, and plumbing work in 2008, demonstrating regular upkeep of essential building systems.

Recent activity around the property has been marked by ongoing urban challenges in the surrounding area, particularly during 2023-2024, with multiple reports of encampments, street cleaning needs, and waste removal requests. The building has experienced five documented fire alarm-related incidents, including smoke detector activations and system malfunctions, though none resulted in injuries or confirmed fires. The property's infrastructure appears generally well-maintained based on the history of permits and repairs, though the recent pattern of encampment reports and street cleaning requests suggests the immediate vicinity has faced recurring urban management issues.

Risk rating

How 2495 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.
