Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2128-2132 Larkin Street in Russian Hill, owned by Owyeung Larkin LLC, has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1910. The most significant recent work includes a complete reroofing project completed in 2017 costing $13,750, and two street space permits issued in 2020 and 2013. The building has seen consistent window upgrades, with records showing the installation of multiple vinyl windows between 2000 and 2003, though some of these permits expired before completion.

The property has experienced several building violations and complaints over the years, with the most recent inspection-related activity dating back to 2013. Significant issues identified during routine inspections included security concerns with exit door locks (2001), multiple fire safety violations (2008), and several building-related problems such as a broken landing strip and unsecured water heaters (2003). A notable complaint from 2013 involved improper garbage disposal practices by management, though this issue was marked as not active. The building's maintenance record shows generally timely resolution of violations, with all identified issues being marked as abated. Recent 311 calls (2017-2023) have primarily related to street-level hazardous materials and general cleaning concerns, though these were external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2128-2132 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.
