1492 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

1492 Larkin Street is a 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, currently owned by 1492 Larkin Street LLC. The property has undergone significant renovations between 2022-2023, including comprehensive unit upgrades that involved kitchen relocations, bathroom rehabilitations, addition of second bathrooms, and installation of washer/dryer facilities in multiple units (Units 1, 2, 4, 6, 7). Notable improvements include a building-wide fire alarm system upgrade with new low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and replacement of smoke detectors, pull stations, and horn strobes in common areas to meet current safety codes (completed in 2022-2023), as well as the installation of central heating systems in all units during 2022.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety compliance issues from previous years, with a significant violation record from 2008-2009 regarding heating systems and fire safety equipment, though all these violations were officially abated by October 2023. Earlier complaints included concerns about lead paint (2013), plumbing issues (2014), and insufficient heat (2008). The property underwent substantial renovation work in response to these past deficiencies, including the recent addition of new electrical service infrastructure with new meter sockets and an overhead main switch in early 2023.

There have been no recent fire incidents reported, though there was one elevator rescue incident recorded in 2009 with no civilian injuries. The building experienced a tenant buyout in December 2022 involving two tenants with a compensation amount of $55,000. Recent 311 calls related to the property primarily concern street cleaning and debris issues in the vicinity rather than building-specific problems.
