1000-1014 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The five-story multi-family residential building at 1000-1014 Larkin Street, owned by Sic-mcm 1008 Larkin Street, was constructed in 1907 and contains 57 units. The property has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, with open violations as of October 2023 for sleeping area requirements and missing standpipe caps, and multiple similar violations documented between 2022-2024. Recent complaints from 2024-2025 indicate significant maintenance and sanitation concerns, including reports of standing sewage in common areas and unresponsive management.

A major fire alarm system upgrade is currently in-process (as of February 2024) to comply with updated safety codes, while recent work has focused on unit improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodels in various units (2016-2019). The building has a history of addressing interior maintenance issues, with multiple units receiving electrical system upgrades, though some common area concerns remain, as evidenced by recent complaints about the 4th floor bathroom. Historically, the building faced several violations in the early 2000s related to pest control, fire escape maintenance, and various interior surface issues, all of which were subsequently abated.

The property has undergone substantial improvements over the years, including the installation of new fire safety systems, kitchen renovations in multiple units, and bathroom remodels on several floors. However, recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in relation to plumbing and fire safety systems. The building's management has responded to most violations and completed numerous improvement projects, though some recent complaints indicate possible communication issues with residents. The property also has active issues with maintaining proper elevator functionality and responding to sanitation concerns, as evidenced by multiple recent complaints from residents.
