1250 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 3-story, 20-unit multi-family residential building at 1250 Larkin Street, built in 1917 and owned by Dyn Trust, has undergone several significant safety and structural improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 (Tier 2) and has maintained ongoing fire safety upgrades, with the most recent fire alarm system improvement completed in April 2024 costing $54,178 to comply with city regulations.

The building underwent a major transformation in 2017 when three existing car garages were converted into residential units, and new ADU construction was completed in 2020 with associated electrical and plumbing upgrades. The property has experienced some maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most serious concerns occurring between 2009-2012 when multiple violations were recorded related to water damage and ceiling repairs, though these were ultimately abated. There were also historical concerns about the fire safety systems, with violations noted regarding alarms, sprinklers, and fire escapes between 2010-2023, all of which were either corrected or abated.

A blighted building complaint was filed in February 2022 regarding graffiti and construction work, though this complaint is now marked as not active. Recent 311 calls from early 2025 indicate ongoing issues with garbage and debris outside the building, including multiple reports of abandoned Christmas trees, though many of these cases were resolved promptly. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure, including historical permits for reroofing (1991) and window replacements (1990).
