Augrented Insights Report

2245 Larkin Street is a 20-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1922 in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, currently owned by the Scher Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements in recent years, including a 2021 fire alarm system upgrade to meet current code requirements, and completion of mandatory soft story retrofit work in 2014-2015, for which it received a Certificate of Final Completion.

Recent mechanical updates include a 2022 steam boiler removal, and numerous plumbing improvements such as water service line upgrades from galvanized to copper in 2013 and various drain line rerouting projects. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple tenant complaints about inadequate or excessive heat between 2006 and 2014, including a pattern of problems with radiator controls and system operation. Several building violations were recorded in 2001 related to fire safety, plumbing, and electrical systems, though these appear to have been abated by October 2008.

More recent maintenance needs have been documented, including a 2024 general maintenance complaint currently under investigation. The property maintains regular compliance with fire safety inspections, with the most recent fire safety issues being promptly corrected in 2024 (sprinkler systems) and 2020 (alarm systems). The building's management has generally addressed major infrastructure requirements, as evidenced by the completion of the soft story retrofit program, which is classified as Tier 3 (Work Complete, CFC Issued).
