1496 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1496 Larkin Street property is a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, currently owned by Potrero Ventures LLC. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, including a fire alarm system upgrade completed in August 2023 to comply with current fire codes, and ongoing kitchen renovations in Units #8 (2024) and #9 (2023). The property has maintained active building and fire safety compliance, with regular upgrades to systems and unit improvements, including the installation of ductless mini-split HVAC systems in 2022 and 2023.

Historical records indicate several maintenance and compliance issues that have been addressed over time. In 2009, the building underwent a routine inspection that identified multiple fire safety violations, including the need for fire extinguisher recharges, seismic bracing for water heaters, and various other safety requirements, all of which were subsequently abated. A 2014 complaint highlighted plumbing issues affecting multiple units, though this was resolved within a day.

More recent work has focused on unit modernization, with completed renovations including kitchen and bathroom updates, window replacements, and electrical system improvements. The building has experienced periodic fire system-related complaints, though these have generally been resolved promptly, with the most recent fire alarm system upgrade indicating active maintenance of safety systems. The property underwent reroofing in 2021 and has seen consistent investment in unit improvements, with permits totaling over $300,000 in the past two years alone.
