Initial analysis

2677 Larkin Street is an 8-story, 33-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Lsl Properties B14 De Llc. The building has undergone numerous renovations and improvements over recent years, with significant recent work focused on unit #803 in 2023, including bathroom layout changes and kitchen relocation. The property has seen substantial unit upgrades since 2014, including window replacements, fire alarm system upgrades, and multiple unit remodels involving kitchen and bathroom improvements. However, the building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple violations related to fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and other fire code requirements between 2020 and 2024, including open violations as recent as December 2024. A notable structural concern emerged in 2021 regarding a vertical crack in the building's west elevation, which has been documented to be approximately 20 feet in height. The building has a history of boiler permit compliance issues, with violations noted in 2018 that were subsequently abated. While most recent 311 calls and complaints have been resolved, there are ongoing open service requests from 2024 related to municipal transportation and public works.

The property's maintenance record shows regular updates to building systems, including window replacements, fire safety upgrades, and unit modernization projects. Recent work has primarily focused on individual unit improvements and system upgrades, such as the installation of EV charging infrastructure and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. The building's fire safety systems have been a persistent area of concern, with multiple violations and citations issued over the past several years. While most violations have been addressed and abated, recent fire safety violations from 2023-2024 indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges in this critical area.

Risk rating

How 2677 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.
