Initial analysis

The three-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building at 2200 Larkin Street, owned by Robert J & Yvette P Dolan R, was built in 1911 and has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandated soft-story retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $55,000, which included the installation of a steel moment frame and plywood shear walls for seismic safety. Recent improvements include a garage expansion and retaining wall construction in 2019 ($20,000), reroofing in 2016 ($21,000), and boiler replacement in 2016. The building experienced a significant fire incident in 2015 that caused smoke and water damage, and there have been recurring issues with fire safety systems, including alarm and sprinkler problems in 2015 and 2019, though these were subsequently corrected.

The property has faced various building violations and complaints over the years, with the most recent occurring in September 2024, involving multiple fire safety and maintenance issues including a non-functional fire escape ladder, unsubmitted safety affidavits, and problems with a heat timeclock. Historical concerns include plumbing issues with a collapsed house trap in 2017, and various maintenance matters in 1997 related to bathroom problems and electrical wiring. The building's management has generally addressed violations promptly, as evidenced by most issues being marked as "Not Active" or "Abated". Tenant buyouts have occurred three times between 2017-2019, with payments of $15,000 to $16,000 to departing tenants. The property has maintained compliance with the City's mandatory soft-story retrofit program, receiving a Certificate of Final Completion.

Risk rating

How 2200 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.
