2037-2039 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 2037-2039 Larkin Street property in Russian Hill is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908 and currently owned by the Jew Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, including substantial electrical upgrades in 2012 with the installation of new 125A meter/panel combinations and a 200A existing service, as well as the replacement of essential systems such as the water heater and furnace during the same year. More recent renovations include a kitchen remodel in 2015 featuring new cabinets, countertops, appliances, and flooring, along with a pantry wall expansion at the third-floor unit.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, with a street space permit issued in 2010 and a reroofing project noted from 1992, though this permit is listed as expired. The property has experienced numerous external challenges in recent years, particularly during 2024, when there were several reports of encampments near the property, with the most recent occurring in November 2024. There have been recurring issues with illegal parking in the vicinity, especially regarding driveway blocking and sidewalk parking violations, with multiple citations and towing incidents recorded between 2022 and 2023.

The building's immediate surroundings have faced typical urban challenges, as evidenced by 311 calls for garbage and debris removal in July 2024 and reports of waste cleanup needed in June 2022. While these external issues don't directly affect the building's internal conditions, they do impact the general neighborhood environment. The property's documented improvements and maintenance work suggests an active approach to building upkeep and modernization over the past decade.
