1958-1962 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 1958-1962 Larkin Street is a three-story multi-family residential building located in Nob Hill, built in 1911 and containing three units. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with the most recent work being a completed reroofing project in 2022 costing $9,000.

Of particular note are ongoing concerns about the basement space: in 2018, there was a violation regarding an unauthorized unit that led to permits being filed to convert it back to storage space, though this permit was subsequently marked as "Cancelled" in 2024 following UDU screening. The building has a documented history of stair-related problems, with repairs required in both 2001 and 2018, and multiple violations regarding exterior safety features and codes, including requirements for gas shutoff tools and instructional diagrams. The property has experienced various maintenance issues that have affected resident comfort and safety, particularly during the period around 2001-2008, when multiple violations were documented related to heating, electrical systems, and exterior conditions.

While many of these issues were eventually addressed, as evidenced by completed permits and abatement notices, several violations remain active as of the most recent records, including concerns about the exterior stairs, interior electrical systems, and building heating. The building has also faced periodic issues with graffiti, loose garbage, and sidewalk cleaning needs, as documented in recent 311 calls, though these are more related to exterior maintenance rather than structural or safety concerns. The most recent routine inspections have shown some violations related to exterior appendages and unit configurations, and while many historical complaints have been resolved, there appears to be an ongoing need for careful monitoring of building systems and compliance requirements.
