Initial analysis

The property at 2928-2932 Larkin Street in Russian Hill is a three-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 2004, containing two units and owned by E & M No 2 LLC. The building underwent significant development period from 2000-2004, which included the installation of a fire sprinkler system (though the permit expired), improvements to vertical circulation with new stairs (completed), and electrical upgrades including new services with three panels and four meters. The construction phase also involved addressing parking requirements with plans for a two-car garage.

More recent maintenance activities include a re-roofing project in 2017 costing $14,000, and a sewer repair in 2007. However, the building has experienced some infrastructure challenges, with documented sewage issues in 2007 and more recently in September 2024, when there was a sewage back-up discharge from a side sewer vent. The property has also been the subject of various municipal service calls over the years, including driveway blockage incidents, pavement defects repairs in 2015-2016, and urban maintenance issues like general cleaning and encampment-related concerns nearby. Planning records indicate a conversion of an existing rear building from two dwelling units to a single-family dwelling during the original development period, with provisions for off-street parking and garage access.

Risk rating

How 2928-2932 Larkin 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.
