1710 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1710 Larkin Street in Nob Hill, owned by Larkin Street Investments L, has undergone significant improvements since 2017. The property, built in 1907, completed mandatory soft-story seismic upgrades as a Tier 3 building. Notable renovations between 2017-2018 included comprehensive interior remodels of multiple units (3, 10, 11, 12), window replacements with historically appropriate double-hung aluminum-clad wood windows, and a substantial fire alarm system upgrade to meet safety requirements.

The building has received attention to its infrastructure, with sewer/housetrap replacement, plumbing system upgrades including tankless water heaters and radiant floor installations, and electrical system modernization including subpanel installations throughout several units. The property had a cluster of violations in 2014 related to interior surfaces, security requirements, plumbing, and fire safety, including lead paint warnings and drainage pipe issues, though these were all abated by December 2014. Two fire safety violations were issued in July 2018 regarding extinguishers and alarm systems, which were resolved by August 2018.

Recent inspection records indicate no active violations as of November 2024. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the area around the building, these were primarily related to abandoned vehicles and street maintenance issues, with only one concerning general cleaning and flooding in 2018 that was resolved. The building's recent renovation history, completion of soft-story work, and lack of active violations suggest significant investment in both safety and resident comfort, though prospective tenants should note the building's age and the nature of its historical window replacements.
