2121-2125 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

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.
