1480 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 25-unit apartment building at 1480 Larkin Street in Nob Hill, managed by the Priscilla Mar Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work since the early 2000s. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 (with a cost of $150,000) to strengthen its seismic performance, and underwent multiple siding replacement projects between 2015 and 2019, including the installation of Hardie plank siding and insulation improvements costing up to $85,000.

The building's infrastructure has been systematically updated, with a new roof installed in 2004, water heater replacements (most recently in 2019), and sewer line work completed in 2016. The property has maintained regular compliance with safety inspections, though there have been recurring issues with the fire escape drop ladder maintenance, most recently noted in a September 2024 inspection. The building has experienced three sprinkler/standpipe system issues (most recently in July 2023), though these were promptly addressed and corrected.

Historical records show the building had several boiler permit renewals required between 2010 and 2020, and two fire escape-related violations in 2001 and 2005, all of which were resolved. The most recent building complaints from 2024 indicate missing Section 604 and smoke/carbon monoxide affidavits, while a 2020 plumbing complaint regarding boiler permit renewal was also resolved. The property has demonstrated consistent maintenance and upgrading of key systems, with most recent works focusing on updating building envelope components and ensuring structural integrity.
