Initial analysis

The property at 2543-2547 Larkin Street is a three-unit multi-family residential building located in Russian Hill, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Sally Mann. The building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with major improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2017-2019 (valued at $45,000 in 2019), window replacements for all upper flat and street-visible lower flat windows in 2017, re-roofing work in 2017, and comprehensive electrical rewiring projects in both 2017 and 2019. More recently, in October 2024, violations were issued for alarm system and sprinkler maintenance issues, though these were subsequently abated.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic systems, including furnace installation (2017), plumbing upgrades, and electrical improvements such as new lighting, switches, and appliance installations. While there were multiple routine housing inspections in 2000, 2004, 2006, and 2011, and some building violations in 2006 related to fire extinguishers and wood stairs, these issues were resolved. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily concern external matters like sidewalk defects, water leaks, and graffiti, rather than building-specific issues. A significant historical note from 1997 indicates unauthorized water heater replacements, but this appears to have been an isolated incident. The property has maintained active compliance with most building codes, though the recent fire safety violations in 2024 suggest an area requiring ongoing attention; however, these were addressed within one month of issuance.

Risk rating

How 2543-2547 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.
