1600 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The five-story, 12-unit apartment building at 1600 Larkin Street in Nob Hill, owned by John P. and Sarah N. Healy, was constructed in 1964 and has undergone several significant updates to maintain resident safety and comfort.

Most recently, the building completed a substantial unit renovation in 2021 (Unit 103) costing $43,000, which included LED lighting installation, bathroom remodeling, kitchen updates, and associated plumbing and electrical work. The building's safety features have been consistently upgraded, including a $81,000 soft-story retrofit completed in 2017 to comply with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements, and a 2015 fire alarm system replacement. The building has experienced some maintenance and safety-related incidents over the years, including multiple fire safety inspections and system activations, though fortunately without any civilian injuries documented.

Recent complaints from 2023-2024 have centered around water leakage issues, light fixture maintenance, and general building upkeep, which were addressed by Housing Inspection Services. The building's historical maintenance record shows attention to necessary repairs and compliance with city requirements, though there was one notable period of non-compliance with the Mandatory Soft Story Program in 2020, which was subsequently resolved. Regular maintenance work has included roofing updates (1993, 2018), various interior improvements, and ongoing responses to routine inspections and resident feedback. The property has also experienced periodic elevator issues, with at least one complaint about malfunctioning service noted in 2021.
