2107 Larkin St

The 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2107 Larkin Street in Russian Hill, owned by Jeffrey J & Lilly P Kwong R, was constructed in 1975 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $50,000, bringing it into compliance with seismic safety requirements. The property has experienced recurring hot water system issues, with multiple complaints between 2001 and 2019 regarding inadequate hot water supply, including a concerning incident in 2019 involving discolored water. Several maintenance and safety violations were documented in February 2010, including mold/mildew on walls, inadequate garbage receptacles, and various plumbing issues, though these were all abated by March 2010. The building has undergone regular maintenance work, including reroofing projects in 2017 and 1998, and structural improvements in 2007 such as deck and beam replacements. Recent records from 2024-2025 show multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property, though many of these relate to street cleaning issues rather than building maintenance. Two blocked exit fire safety violations were recorded and corrected in 2009 and 2010, and there have been three fire-related incidents on record, though none resulted in civilian injuries or significant damage. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, records indicate that most violations have been addressed and corrected in a timely manner.
