Initial analysis

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 2627-2629 Larkin Street in Russian Hill, owned by Ross & Larkin Revoc Tr, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1916. The most recent major structural work, completed in 2018, involved replacement of a deteriorated retaining wall at the west property line at a cost of $30,000. The building has seen various system upgrades over the years, including the installation of a residential elevator with associated work in 2001-2002 ($26,000 total), bathroom renovations in 2003 ($28,000), and roofing work in 2000 ($12,885). Several foundation and structural improvements were made in the late 1990s, including bolting of the foundation and shear wall replacement in 1997, though some permits from that period are listed as expired.

Recent maintenance records indicate attention to exterior issues, with the most recent concerns being related to tree roots damaging property and a pavement defect in 2024, as well as multiple reports of illegal parking and driveway blocking in July 2024, though these were either resolved or marked invalid due to incomplete reporting information. The property has maintained its residential character despite some recent urban challenges, with completed responses to street cleaning requests and illegal postings in 2022-2023. A condominium conversion proposal for the two-unit building was approved, indicating successful transition to individual unit ownership while maintaining the original building structure.

Risk rating

How 2627-2629 Larkin St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
