Initial analysis

The property at 2127 Larkin Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. Built in 1906 and currently owned by the Anthony Go Revocable Trust, this flats and duplex structure has undergone some noted modifications. In late 1993, permits were issued (though subsequently expired) for both horizontal additions and remodeling work that included updates to bathrooms and kitchens, new cabinets, and appliances. More recently, from late 2022 through 2024, there has been a significant pattern of parking-related incidents affecting the property, with multiple reports of driveway blocking occurring nearly monthly. While some of these cases resulted in citations (such as the February 2024 incident involving a BMW X5), others were marked as invalid due to incomplete reporting information, and several cases were resolved with vehicles gone upon officer arrival. The only recorded fire incident was a smoke detector activation with no fire or civilian injuries reported.

The consistent pattern of parking enforcement calls suggests ongoing challenges with access to the property's driveway, though most of these incidents occurred after the documented building improvements from 1993. The building's documented history shows particular attention was given to modernization in the early 1990s, though no recent building modifications or permits are on record. The property appears to have maintained basic safety protocols, as evidenced by the documented smoke detector system, despite the age of the building and its significant period of permitted improvements from over three decades ago.

Risk rating

How 2127 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.

Neighborhood percentile
56th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 499 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 64.6%
Moderate concern 14.0%
Severe concern 21.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
