2165 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 31-unit, four-story multi-family residential building at 2165 Larkin Street in Russian Hill, owned by Russian Hill Apartments LP, was constructed in 1927 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. Most recently, in December 2023, the building received a violation related to sleeping area requirements, though this was subsequently abated.

The property had notable fire safety upgrades in 2021, including a voluntary fire alarm system upgrade costing $60,000 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, followed by additional modifications to the fire alarm plans in 2022. Regular maintenance of building systems has been demonstrated, with a new domestic hot water boiler installation in June 2024 and backflow prevention system updates in 2019. The building has seen substantial interior improvements between 2014-2016, with multiple apartments (including units 101, 202, 205, 302, and 402) undergoing comprehensive renovations including kitchen relocations, bathroom remodels, and electrical upgrades.

Historical issues were resolved through appropriate permits and inspections, including the removal of unauthorized construction work in 2011 and various fire safety violations. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes, as evidenced by the resolution of earlier violations regarding floor coverings, fire safety, and egress obstruction. While there have been periodic issues reported in 2020-2023, including some maintenance concerns and a violation regarding sleeping area requirements, these have generally been addressed through appropriate channels, indicating ongoing management attention to building conditions and regulatory compliance.
