Initial analysis

The 2733-2737 Lombard Street property is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1915, containing 6 residential units and ground floor commercial space. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most notable recent activity occurring in August 2024 when complaints were filed regarding unsafe scaffolding and lead paint removal concerns. The property has a history of compliance issues, including a 2014 violation for failing to submit the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program form, and multiple violations documented in 2001 related to building safety, fire safety, and plumbing requirements. Between 2006 and 2008, substantial improvements were made, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system, bathroom renovations, and modifications to accommodate a preschool facility. The building has experienced recurring fire safety system concerns, with multiple complaints regarding alarm systems and sprinkler systems recorded between 2017 and 2024, though most were resolved promptly.

Recent maintenance issues have included a sewage backup in May 2024 and several sidewalk blockage complaints in 2024. The property has a documented history of unauthorized occupancy issues, particularly concerning the commercial space being used as residential space, and concerns about construction work being performed without proper permits. The building's mechanical systems were upgraded in 2008 with a new 400-amp service installation. While many historical violations and complaints have been resolved, including various building code, fire safety, and sanitation issues, the recent complaints about scaffolding and lead paint removal raise concerns about current maintenance practices. The property has also been subject to periodic routine inspections and has experienced various exterior maintenance issues typical of urban properties, as evidenced by 311 calls regarding graffiti, waste removal, and street cleaning.

Risk rating

How 2733-2737 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
45th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 474 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.1%
Moderate concern 11.7%
Severe concern 14.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
