Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 2121-2125 Larkin Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Shiu Ying Che Fung Revocable Trust, has a documented history spanning several decades since its construction in 1907. Of particular note is a significant incident in 2000 regarding unauthorized construction, when it was discovered that a basement storage area had been illegally converted into a unit containing a sleeping room, kitchen, and bathroom, lacking essential safety features such as smoke detectors and emergency rescue windows. This violation was formally addressed through multiple Notices of Violation (NOVs) in 2000, with compliance work valued at $5,000 filed in May 2000 to restore the rear ground floor to its original configuration. The building underwent necessary foundation work in 2006 to address issues with the south property line, costing approximately $14,510, and received a reroofing project in 2011 at a cost of $4,850, both of which are now complete.

In more recent years, there have been several maintenance concerns primarily related to street and sidewalk conditions, particularly with overgrown trees blocking sidewalks (as recorded in June and July 2024), and instances of parking violations including vehicles blocking driveways (February 2023 and October 2023). The building's immediate surroundings have experienced routine urban challenges such as abandoned vehicles, property damage from trees, and various street maintenance issues which have been addressed through appropriate municipal channels. Recent 311 calls suggest ongoing exterior maintenance needs, particularly regarding tree management, though these do not directly impact the building's internal conditions.

Risk rating

How 2121-2125 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
53th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 533 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Building age

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

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 46.5%
Moderate concern 17.2%
Severe concern 36.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
