2145 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2145 Larkin Street in Russian Hill, owned by Massucco Fmly Bypass Tr, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1925. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory seismic retrofit in 2014 as a Tier 3 soft-story property, achieving compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

The building has received comprehensive boiler system upgrades, including a new steam boiler installation in 2011 and hot water storage tank replacement in 2009. Multiple fire safety inspections and improvements have been documented, including the resolution of various fire alarm system issues between 2005-2019, though there have been some recurring concerns about alarm systems and fire escape maintenance. The property has experienced some notable historical events, including fire damage in 1991 and a routine inspection in 2003 that revealed several maintenance issues, such as problems with fire escape ladders, hallway fire extinguishers, and the boiler system.

More recently, in 2018, there were complaints about interior maintenance concerns including paint peeling and mold in some areas. The building's management has generally addressed violations and complaints in a timely manner, with many issues being marked as "Condition Corrected" or "Abated." Recent patterns show ongoing attention to parking enforcement, with multiple citations issued for blocked driveways in the vicinity, though these are external to the building's management concerns. The most recent building complaints from September 2024 indicate several administrative requirements and maintenance items needing attention, including emergency lighting and fire escape maintenance, though these are listed as "Not Active" with an abatement date of November 2024.
