2448-2450 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 2448-2450 Larkin Street property is a four-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and owned by Michael Hoffmann. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple compliance issues over its history. Notably, between 2000-2004, major work was performed including the installation of a fire sprinkler system (2003, $14,800), residential elevator (2004), and extensive electrical work wiring 200 lights, 45 switches, 120 receptacles, and 4 panels for two units (2003, completed).

There were substantial structural changes proposed in 2003 ($300,000) and earlier permits related to temporary shoring and foundation work that sparked multiple complaints. The property experienced serious construction-related issues from 2000-2002, including violations for unsafe conditions, unauthorized construction work, and problems with excavation work affecting adjacent buildings. Multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, hazardous construction sites, and violations of permit requirements, though these were primarily abated by 2005.

In recent years (2023-2024), the property has generated multiple 311 calls primarily relating to parking violations and street cleaning issues, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. There is one active complaint from 2000 regarding unauthorized construction work, though most historical violations and complaints have been resolved. The building's renovation history shows substantial investment in modernizing safety systems and infrastructure, though past construction management issues suggest there were significant challenges during the major renovation period.
