2455-2459 Lombard St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 2455-2459 Lombard Street in Cow Hollow, built in 1914 and currently owned by Hirschbein Jonah & Cheang E, has undergone significant renovations and modifications over the past decade. The most substantial recent work occurred in 2016 with comprehensive updates to a two-story rear cottage unit, including full window and door replacement, interior stair additions, bathroom expansions, and complete mechanical systems updates at a cost of $125,000. Earlier improvements in 2013 included extensive building-wide upgrades such as plumbing system modernization for four bathrooms, installation of multiple appliances (including two washers/dryers and kitchen sinks), electrical rewiring, window replacements, and bathroom remodels totaling over $200,000.

The building maintains appropriate fire safety records with no civilian injuries reported, though several unintentional alarm activations have occurred. Recent activity at the property has generated numerous 311 calls from 2023-2024, primarily related to sidewalk maintenance, waste removal, and parking enforcement issues, which while manageable, suggest ongoing maintenance requirements in the vicinity. The property has been the subject of multiple building permits, including a significant planning authorization in 2013 for converting retail space to office use with appropriate accessibility upgrades. A notable building violation occurred in 2013 regarding window replacements, though this was resolved within three months.

The property has also experienced some issues with illegal short-term rentals, as evidenced by a 2023 complaint about unauthorized Airbnb activity using fraudulent registration numbers, though this appears to have been addressed through normal enforcement channels. The building's maintenance and upgrade history shows consistent investment in property improvements and systems modernization, with particular attention to addressing building code requirements and accessibility needs. The property has maintained compliance with major building codes and regulations, with only minor violations that were promptly corrected. Recent open 311 calls primarily relate to exterior maintenance and street-level issues rather than building-specific concerns, suggesting that major building systems and living conditions have been adequately maintained.
