2301 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 19-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2301 Larkin St in Russian Hill, owned by Richard Pellegrini Revoc Tr, has undergone several significant improvements since its 1966 construction. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2018 (with a cost of $170,000), upgraded its fire alarm system in 2020, and received new windows throughout the building in 2018. More recent infrastructure improvements include a house trap replacement in 2021 and plumbing repairs in 2018, including replacement of cast iron drain pipes.

The building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, particularly between 2014-2018. These included leaks and water damage in 2005-2018, elevator malfunctions in 2018, and unauthorized work in 2017. Several complaints were filed regarding potential mold issues in 2015 and problems with exterior panels in 2019.

The building's fire safety systems have required attention, with several false alarms recorded, though no injuries were reported in these incidents. While most past violations have been resolved, including a notable plumbing permit correction in 2018, recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly regarding graffiti removal and waste management. The property is currently classified as having completed its soft-story retrofit requirements as a Tier 2 building.
