1736-1738 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The two-unit residential building at 1736-1738 Larkin Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Fujiwara Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1900. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most notable being a seismic upgrade completed in 1997, which likely enhanced the building's structural safety.

Between 1999 and 2000, multiple permits were issued for stucco and window repairs totaling $50,000, though these permits have since expired. More recently, in 2013, the building received an update to its water heating system with a completed permit for water heater replacement. The property has experienced recurrent issues with parking violations, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with five documented incidents between 2020 and 2023 resulting in at least two citations being issued.

The surrounding area has faced typical urban challenges, as evidenced by various 311 calls, including reports of human or animal waste (2020), graffiti (2008, 2016), and a flickering streetlight (2012) that was subsequently repaired by PG&E. The most recent incidents have been relatively minor, consisting of general cleaning issues and parking violations, with no records of serious safety concerns or major structural issues in recent years. The building's maintenance history suggests regular attention to basic upkeep, though some older repair permits are no longer active.
